Ok I'm sure i have a post from a few months back about my internet issue. Well was forced to upgrade thanks to the roof allowing water in from the massive rain in texas. *interior damage isnt extreme though but not minor.
So to recap this previous story
1gb bandwith
Router located over 75ft? with a wall and solid wood door between.
Steam download speeds 20mb
What i did
Buy slightly more expensive router netgear nighthawk rx1000v2 still rocking dual band
50ft of cat6 vs cat5e (didn't know them cables been out for years haha)
Moved it into the hallway between the 2 rooms.
Improvements
Steam now has a download speed of 50mbps
Ping seems more stable (i dont believe it as still dealing with packet loss in games) unless im wrong but ping while in mutiplayer is 40ms roughly.
I have this router slightly setup but im sure it could use tweaking *has custom stuff did run ping optimizer seems to help but dont understand how to adjust bandwith properly
