Network setups for home gaming

[NatiboyB]

Ok brehs I'm curious for you cats who have next gen (current gen) systems. How are you connecting to the internet. is it thu LAN and static ip or wireless.

I'm trying to troubleshoot why my systems seem to have so many errors. I have been trying to go with all digital downloads but so far that idea is a flop. As I have constant errors can't download all the DL conten 100% of the Tim and just a game of glitches. Post any fixes and redmedy you known of also.

This is my router
And this is my modem,


I have time warner ultimate (50mbps with turbo boost)

Time warner is probably the problem. I have ultimate too and i have disconnects all the time.

Yea if you arent gaming you probably dont notice it but even connected to LAN my ps4 gets quick disconnects every hour or so. Frustrating when im paying like $85 a month

Hardwired in with my wireless gateway, had to lower firewall on my settings but managed to get up and running with the PS4.

No firewall?

Hardwired, mostly.

By mostly I mean I have two routers, the main router (Linksys E2500, okay router. Wish I got a Netgear, but it performs well enough.) Another Linksys Router E900 used as a repeater bridge, the console is hardwired to the repeater bridge and it's used as a wireless adapter to the E2500 main router. The signal is guaranteed to be very strong and online gaming is stable because of it. I used Qos, so the console has priority even if I'm downloading porn or something.

No firewall?

Minimum.I was able to access like PSN and what not but not the online gaming. I wasnt sure which ports i had to open but lowering my firewall to minimum seemed to resolve that.

Funny but I rarely disconnect from my time warner service ever since they gave me that new router with the wireless signal and shyt. I mean for all the money we're paying them that shyt better work...

 

[Neil Tyson]

When I game I want the best connection possible, why not go hardwired if you can? Buy a long ethernet cable and stable that shyt against the baseboards.

only thing hard wired is my xboxone. the tv's, ps4, ps3's and 360's all wireless. what i did when i moved in my house was call comcast and have them run a dedicated line from outside to the upstairs man cave.

cable is on another dedicated line. this may or may not help you

this is my wireless speeds

i have
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
and
SBG6120 SURFboard® Wireless Cable Modem

Wireless AC is fine.

ASUS (RT-AC68U) Wireless-AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Router:Amazon:Computers & Accessories
Thats my main router

ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router:Amazon:Computers & Accessories
Thats my previous router sitting in the front room acting as a wireless ac bridge. All the game consoles are hardwired to it so they can get wireless ac speed.

If you want best speed straight from router buy ethernet cable and connect it straight to the system while making everything wireless. Configure router to prioritize ethernet line as the priority. Simple and clean.
