SM961 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Can a WiFi connection add any lag to my hard-wired connections when playing online? Just wondering if people using my wifi will add lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBull2k Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 In short "yes" first come first serve basis but you can do things to help with this, using Congestion Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I have set up my Netduma the right way, so the more people on wifi the more lag then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonicBoom Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If you have CC at 100% then yes, they can cause plenty of lag. If you have it set to mitigate the lag (70% CC + hyperlane) then they won't cause any discernible lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Any device that can obtain an ip address from your internet service provider can cause congestion on you home network. (ie. computers, smart tvs, smart watches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 So there's lag all the time, I see. Exactly. Now the question is are you going to handle it correctly or incorrectly but it will be handled. Congestion control is key but there is no blanket answer. You have to find your own answer by trial and error with the sliders as I like to call them. 70/70 is a great starting point. And use www.dslreports.com as a test to determine when you find the sweet spot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had the Netduma for a year this month and I paired together with TC-7610 and my BB is beautiful A+ across the board and yes I already found my sweet spot. Thanks for the reply.

Zennon Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just in case you have not add the console to hyper traffic so your packets are first in the queue. Have all devices connected to the Netduma for congestion control to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
