networking fix for multiplayer

people with bad or slow INTERNET or people who experience lag i am sorry but this issue is a personal one (for the most part) that can be addressed if you use a wired connection and other tools i will talk about here, I've dabbled in making my connection better for year since the whole blops 2 ordeal and even a little before that. I can definitively say with destiny and other online games there has been an issue with connection stability, dedicated servers help but since destiny doesn't seem to have these for now, here is how to get the most out of your INTERNET speed. [u]1) use a non proprietary modem or modem router combo - the main reason is this actually is a way for companies to control your bandwidth usage without your knowledge since you have so little control over the type of devices they give you, it also saves you a lot of money![/u] - fix for this is simple get a modem or modem router combo of your own, many INTERNET businesses might tell you your not "allowed" to have a different device for their service.... this is a lie to sell you more junk,(one thing to keep in mind is to set up your modem by calling the company you are purchasing INTERNET for to set it up on their end) [u]2) wired connections work the best and the best Ethernet cables around for streamline connectivity are fiber optic (which unless your rich forget about it), cat-5e and cat-6. [/u] - when it comes to cost cat-5e is affordable and a little slower than cat-6 but lacks some of the things cat-6 provides, cat-6 it the current standard and can be a little pricey but the speed is well worth it, the difference in price mainly comes from the foil insulators on the inside of the cable itself to prevent internal wire damage, as well as the speed and sometimes snag less covers [u]3) some people like to port forward, which to me is a nice thing but opening most of those ports shows minor improvements over the ever changing ports a game can have with all of its different servers, a good thing to check to combat connection issues is your NAT type. [/u] - to fix your NAT type lets begin with a simple fix but hard for people who don't know how to change information in their router without locking themselves out of it. Enable UPnP! this is essential mainly because the ports open themselves for your specific devices! - now before any PC fanatics come attack me here is a [b]disclaimer for UPNP it can allow mal-ware to enter your computer but hear me out mal-ware can get into your computer just as easily without it being open so be sure you have a GOOD anti virus program and its up to date on all of its information[/b] [b][u]Playstation nat types[/u][/b] nat type 1 -open nat type 2 - moderate nat type 3 - strict (you need 1 for maximum efficiency) [b][u]Xbox nat types[/u][/b] open moderate strict (your gonna want an open nat type here too) i hope all this helps people as it does for me it wont fix everything but this fixes the issues with individual problems, all other lag is contained to either the game servers or other people. if you have something to add run it by me and I'll see what i can add.

    Cat5e and Cat6 have the same throughput of 1gb/s. Also, a permanent fix for nat type issues it to transition to ipv6. You can also bridge your connection through a pc to solve nat type issues.
