Danno1016 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I am currently downloading season 2 of warzone for COD and it is only downloading at like 6MB/s. I am confused on why this download speed is so low because when I test my internet I get 230MBp/s. Is there anyway I can get the download speed higher?

Netduma Liam Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Are you using QoS? If so, try disabling it quickly and check to see if the download speeds improve at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes also have this problem when i download on release day. Somehow i think Activision might have a download speed limit to keep servers in check.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2021 That makes sense, they will have loads of people downloading all at once so to ensure they don't become overloaded they will likely limit it, I've seen this a lot in the past.

Danno1016 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 I'm sure on release days it is crazy but even on different things I upload and download I am getting slow speeds. And I have my PS4 connected to the 2.4 WiFi and I lag for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any obstructions between the PS4 and the R2 (i.e walls, floors/ceilings)? What speeds do you expect to receive and what are you actually receiving?

Danno1016 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 I am not able to connect to the R2 via wired because it is too far. It is a couple rooms away with 2 walls in the way from my pc and my PS4. When I run the speed test on netdumas website I get the speeds I am supposed to get which is 230mbps Download and 12Mbps upload. But when I am downloading stuff on my pc I am only getting about 8Mbps download speed(This is connected to the 5Ghz). On my PS$ which is connected to the 2.4Ghz Wifi when I test the speed there I am only getting about 30Mbps download and 4Mbps upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you only noticed this with Warzone or do all downloads on you PC hit these speeds? Often there's more variables at play in these scenarios such as the servers you're downloading from etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno1016 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 It has been with almost every download I do. Not just warzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2021 When you said you were testing speeds, were you referring to Connection Benchmark? If so that is a test directly from the router so the WiFi/walls/environment isn't a factor there so it will be higher. What firmware version are you on at the moment? I would recommend using a WiFi analyzer on the PC - there is a free version called WiFi analyzer on the Microsoft store for Windows. Then change the channels on the router to the least busy ones.

Danno1016 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yes the speed test was from connection benchmark. I am currently on 3.0.205 version for the R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK that's why then, go ahead and try the latest steps Fraser suggest with a Wi-Fi analyser and let us know if this improves things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno1016 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 How do I know what Channels are the least busy ones? Also I downloaded the app and it says when I am connected to my 5ghtz Wifi I get 117mbps. When I connect to my 2.4 ghtz I get 144mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 You can tell visually which channels are not used/have the fewest networks on them. As there's a couple of walls between you and the router it's not unlikely that you'll get better speeds through 2.4GHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno1016 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Ok thank you. Is there anything else I can do to try and get my Speeds faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2021 Provide a screenshot of what you see for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz, for example like this: and we can suggest a channel that might be best - it also suggests a channel for you to use at the bottom.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2021 So for 2.4GHz I would suggest trying channel 7. When you connect to 5GHz you need to click at the bottom of the program where it says 5GHz and take a screenshot of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Liam Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thanks! Switch your 5GHz to 48 and try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2021 What kind of connection problems exactly are you seeing? For the router antennae set them up like this: _ | | _ as that will help with range and stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I can say the R2 has slower download throughout ; my xr1000 had hit 500 consistently! (Goes for all speed tests) + wired strange tho upload was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
