Lag

[Trippy]

Hi all , I have been having issues for almost 7 years with high ping in games , never ending lag . Here is a list of things I have done over the years to try solve it 

Changed isp 3 times (currently on 1Gb full fiber )

Changed cabling out (currently playing using cat 8 ethernet cable )

Been through numerous routers ( currently using night hawk 500)

All the basics of changing dns , tried port forwarding , non of these thing have made a difference . I'm not sure if it is my ISP throttling me or not , I play destiny 2 which is bandwidth intensive .

Does any one have any ideas at all that I may have missed or something I could possibly try , any help I would be very grateful of

• What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode
• Are ALL devices connected to the XR?
• What are the speeds you pay for/receive? 
• Have you entered those speeds into the router?
• How have you setup Congestion Control?
• How have you setup Traffic Prioritization?
• What platform are you playing on and how is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi?
• Are you using the Geo-Filter?

DNS & Port Forwarding won't have any impact on lag and games barely use any bandwidth - if figures for Destiny online are correct then even though it does use more than most games it still only uses 0.6Mbps.

Hi Fraser thankyou for your reply 

.Nighthawk XR500

.it's connected to a box that i assume is acting as a modem that is provided by my isp on the wall via cat 8 ethernet cable 

.I am playing on a wierd cat 8 ether net

.The XR500 is in Router Mode

.All devices are connected , although we only have the tv , 2 mobile phones ,1 laptop , and xbox series x on the system .

.I play on an xbox series x (how ever I did play on pc with a powerful pc and still experienced all the same issues )

.I have 1gig Internet and consistently get 900 up and down consistently wierd I have not set these speeds on the router how ever I have set the router to give 70% of the upload and download speed in the QOS 

. I tried to use the geo filter but had to turn it off as I was getting booted out of pvp games as they were loading in

What ping are you seeing in the game? You can have the Geo-Filter enabled but in spectating mode so it won't filter but you can see the ping still - what does the ping say on the Geo-Filter also? Where is the server in relation to you that its putting you on?
