WTF 181 mbps download ? my shit is like 3mbps half the time.

We had terrible wifi performance from the router/modem supplied by Comcast.(model TC8305C). We reverted to the older Cisco router that we had been using (Linksys E3000), and with that we're getting equivalent performance to ethernet (50 Mbps DL, 6 Mbps UL) with about a 20% drop-off in DL speed in the worst parts of the house. We have our devices placed to allow easy ethernet connections. Question: Why is it that Destiny thinks our NAT Type is 3 when my PS4 detects Type 2?

Down/up has little to do with lag. It's latency and jitter.

Mi Internet is already at 150 download speed and 140 upload speed :)

Bruh. I got 2.7 down

I saw a lot of technical text, I'm gonna ask a question: I have a pretty solid router, right now I'm connected over wireless to my xboxone The wireless is in general pretty good but I have been thinking about trying to thread wiring up towards my Xbox to put it on wired network Is this worth it? How much of an improvement will I get out of this and is there anything I should do to maximize success if I do choose to set this up?

Or get uverse so you're not sharing your bandwidth with the whole neighborhood.

5 Mbs down is plenty for gaming. 2Mbs up, would be pretty close to sufficient. I am a network admin for a city, not some random Best Buy sales dude, so I have a pretty good grasp of network mechanics. The real issue is network bottlenecks (too many devices on Wi-Fi often). Even when devices don't transfer a lot of data they still send small packets, that need to be queued by a router; which can result in packet fragmentation and loss. Even a query response time from point to point can cause lag, if you take longer than you should to respond to data requests from the host you get lag, even though when your device responds to the request it sends that info quickly. Use wired, it can eliminate a lot of the issues you might be having. TL; DR: Slower end of the spectrum of speeds? Use wired, and give it a fixed IP with port priority (QoS), meaning all data from that IP gets to "cut in line". I've helped people set up quality gaming on 1.5mbs DSL.

You have some good tips and meanwhile I agree with you on some of the things. I do want to point out a couple of issues (and I know you said this for people who use wireless for gaming). (1) Wired connection is always better than a wireless connection mainly because of the isolation it provides from the outside interference and lack of hindrances that are always in the way of an RF signal. Your ping is never stable on wireless because there are too many things going around you in the environment which is why gamers tend to avoid wireless. (2) Speed test doesn't show the whole picture of your connection. Try pingtest.net and see how much jitter you have in connection. A-B line rating is what you should strive for to play without lagging out the whole lobby. (3) Comcast's rental modems have built in routers, which are pretty crappy and for those of you who don't know. Comcast has a second band transmitting out of your rental/lease modem/router called "Xfinitywifi" which can be used by any Xfinity customer. You can't disable it and it will always be transmitting using your bandwidth and you won't know who is connected to your router via Xfinity wifi. Currently you can call them and ask them to disable it but the processing on the router is very slow and causes NAT issues with PSN/Xbox Live. I really suggest buying your own standalone modem and hooking up to a nice customized router. (4) DOCSIS 3.0 doesn't automatically give you a speed boost. Speed depends on your package and your cable company's supported protocols (modulation standard, bonding channels... etc). On a 25Mbps/download package, Docsis 2.0 is as good as a Docsis 3.0 (given 38Mbps is max for DOCSIS 2.0 in ideal conditions). It also depends on how many channels your ISP supports to provide high bandwidth. Anything over 35Mbps requires a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. These days Motorolla SB6121 is pretty cheap and provides adequate performance for most users. Get the one which is modem only. (5) Routers make a huge difference and you can use QOS to help you with gaming if you have multiple devices hooked up. Given enough bandwidth, a few users streaming videos on the network won't affect the gamer and a good router can prioritize packets in that regard but with low bandwidth you might want to shut off devices to get consistent ping times. A dual band, specifically 5Ghz, only helps in environment with a lot of interference. 2.4Ghz is used by most devices these days so its mostly interfered with, 5Ghz is relatively less congested and is an upgrade on performance but 5Ghz range is crap. So overall 2.4Ghz for range and 5Ghz for performance.. you have to experiment with it to find the right setting. Again, for gaming I highly suggest going with wired. Even a "powerline adapter" is better than wireless, given you have good electrical wiring inside the house. And powerline adapters are cheap. (6) Look into powerline adapters, it provides better/stable pings over wireless and can be hooked up using any power plug near your console. Speeds wise Wifi can be better but ping stability is better on wired/powerline, which is the "red bar-ing" issue people have when playing online. (7) There are many good routers out in the market that provide good gaming performance. I prefer the ones with DD-WRT firmware such as Asus, because they offer so many customization options.. Most consoles don't support anything more than "n" standard so getting an AC router purely for console gaming won't provide any benefit.

I actually have this problem where I red bar on a land cable when my internet is 150 Mbs... Idk why that is but it doesn't happen very happen. It's literally only destiny that does it to

[i]comcast[/i]. That's your problem. Not my modem/router.

What if your internet is a college's or a university's? (Routers aren't allowed here)
