If you only have WiFi and it is shared wifi in a dorm then you are likely going to have lots of issues playing any type of PvP (maybe even PvE) - every time the WiFi hiccups or changes channels due to interference it is going to error out. Your upload is likely dropping below 1Mbps as well.
Destiny, and a number of games soon to come out, all require premium internet connections ([i]i.e. high speed, good UL, low latency, zero packet loss[/i])
If you do a detailed network report on the console itself and get the UL/DL speeds, Latency, Packet Loss, and NAT readings it may tell us something, but without being able to run actual ethernet or adjust settings on the router, you may be limited as to what help can be provided.

Edited by Snake1596: 11/5/2015 2:31:00 PMHello, thanks for answering. Im not in a dorm, but in a flat with three other guys. There is a modem and wifi router is connected to it. I tried using Ethernet cable to connect to the wifi router and it still wouldnt let me play at all. The network report from my console is: Latency: 185ms, 0% packet loss, 5mbps upload, 14mbps download, signal strength 100%, wi-fi speed: 54 mbps, all when using wifi, havent tested it with ethernet cable.

Edited by RedPhoenix HD: 11/5/2015 6:39:25 PMWell, the one thing I can tell you already is that 185ms latency is way too high for gaming, especially with games that require premium connections, like Destiny and a number of others coming out in 2016 that have noted they need premium connections to play. It would be interesting to know if you are seeing this same latency when hardwired. There are 2 sets of tests you should run; both with ethernet connections. 1. have the ethernet connected to the router. Shut off your console and unplug it for about 10 minutes. This gives it time to forget all connection info and clear all caches. Plug it back in and turn it back on. Wait a minute or two so everything loads and drivers are setup. Then do the detailed network test again and record that info. 2. have the ethernet connected directly to the [b]modem[/b]. ([b][i]yes this means you will be the only one able to use the internet at the time[/i][/b]) ... shut down the console and unplug it again; also unplug the modem; wait the 10 minutes so the console has the same time to forget and reset. Turn on the modem first and wait for it to be in its "ready" state. Now plug in the console and turn it back on. Again, give it tie to negotiate and load drivers etc. Do the detailed network test now and record those results. At the very least this will tell us if the router is causing any undue connection issue. At best it may point us to a potential avenue for solution.
