Hi,
For the last year or so I've been trying to troubleshoot and fix my wifi. We get speeds of 80/20 which is perfect for everything I love to do including gaming and streaming. I have a custom-built PC which I use a tp-link USB dongle for my wifi. It has no issue receiving the speeds we have however when playing a game such as "Warzone" I've been experiencing packet loss and rubber banding. These issues come in short bursts that last seconds throughout a game but as you can imagine it can be incredibly frustrating over time.
I did some research and port forwarded my hub which helped a lot however the problem still persisted. I since then decided maybe it's worth buying the BT wifi extender 600 so I can use ethernet to prevent any packet loss. Unfortunately, that hasn't worked either. When I first used the ethernet cable I was getting speeds of 45/18 which was perfect and experienced no packet loss at all, however when I returned later that day and all 4 of us were home my ethernet speeds weren't getting past 10. I tested it with my tp-link at the same time to see if it was a hub issue but that seemed to be working perfectly reaching the 80/20 we get.
I'm the only person in the house that would be using ethernet so I'm confused as to why it's so slow? I did some research online and one person mentioned the sockets being faulty so perhaps replacing that could help improve speeds?
I'm at a real loss here as these minor inconveniences are causing real pain for me and I just want to somehow fix all this. If anyone has any solutions or ideas to help me I'd greatly appreciate it.
