My ps4 was running slow online and change the dns to googles. 8.8.8.8 primary 8.8.4.4 secondary

Hard wire if at all possible.

Maybe I should switch to the linksys?

You could run a wire from your main router and make your second router an access point in your gaming room. Hardwire from access point (second router) to your gaming rig and have plenty of strong wi-fi in that portion of your house as well.

it all goes back to a home ran line.

This all day. Throughput, latency, etc. are all going to better with ethernet. It's not even worth it trying to keep a wireless connection.

If you can't wire directly to router from your room, they make powerline bridges that essentially hard wire through your electrical outlets.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Correct answer!

Running wireless and expect awesome low latency for gaming...?

PS4 wifi adapter is horrible.

MoCA is probably much better than a powerline adapter. Powerline may have better bandwidth, but latency will likely be an issue.

make sure you are using the 2.4ghz wireless and not the 5ghz, it penetrates better.

Also, just wire ethernet up through the wall through your attic into the other room. Wireless gaming sucks balls.

Nonetheless browsing the internet and such is fine. Downloading things is fine. But gaming has been an issue from time to time.

Is there any programs, i remember WTFLag, etc that helps with these situations? or is just a, you have WI-FI deal with it.


NVM

Gaming over wireless isn’t the recommended solution.

There are a lot of variables here.

Are their others in the house using it while your gameing?

Wireless is a shared medium and subject to interference.

Fixed in OP>

I used to install internet. Must be hard wired, the end

On a side note for everyone else, the slowest device on your WiFi will be your top speed. If you have an old device still connected it will slow all of your other devices

Nah haha. That’s funny though.

I posted what I thought were fixed and they ended up not being anything close to a fix.

As I said in the edit op, I just did a system restore since it’s my gaming pc, and everything is easily replaceable and already saved into the games themselves..

Fixed for now....

I hope you don't mind me imposing this question in this thread but I hope someone can shed some light on my situation.

My smart TV gets wifi fine in my bedroom and is pretty far away from my router. But my phone cannot get wifi in my bedroom unless I am near the door (closer to the router). Any reason for that?

I suppose my phone's wifi reciever is not as strong and my TV's.

I don’t know, that’s strange... I know my phone has issues where others don’t (workplace).

I’d call up your ISP (internet service provider) and ask them. They are usually pretty easy going and quick to pick up on their customer service lines.

My suggestion : unplugging your router AND modem always does wonders. When I’m lagging pretty bad, sometimes that fixes everything. My mom in law I remember one time I was at their house and I say to my father in law “hey can you reset your guys’ router or I can, I’m having issues with my internet” she goes “that really shouldn’t effect it blah blah” I just looked at her, looked back at him and he goes “yeah I’ll reset it haha”...
