do i gotta record?
mah
just try it out if it's better or didn't help at all
btw what's your region?
alr gimme a sec
hk
im still getting high ping
@lyra [ping for reply]
open cmd and type
tracert 43.229.65.0
show me a screenshot when you're done
and also what's your ispwhats that
it shows my ip tho
it's show your local ip which is perfectly fine to show dw
go to ifconfig . co (remove the spaces) and find the section "ASN (organization)"
alright
do i type that in run?
that's a website
ok
can you run
ping 43.229.65.0 -t in cmd for 5min while playing Valorant?ok
in cmd right?
is it fine in the range?
correct
yeah should be, or a dm works too
ok
@ClownPierce btw what are your internet speeds and do you use any wifi extenders etc? and how many people are on the network currently/using it?
i use ethernet
oh
and it goes directly to the router and not into an extender right?
press Ctrl + c and show an ss of the results later
i have two routers, one in my living room, one in my room
when do i press it
eh about now works
oh? how is this set up? does one router go into another one or?
how long have you had these problems for?
it doesn't connect to the one outside
about a month
oh
what
do u want me to test it again
cuz it might be inaccurate since i was using discord for a bit there
i could try this time with just valorant
can you run netstat -e
ok
show
i put that in cmd?
yes
can you maybe try to only use one router?
could you also run
ping 192.168.1.1 -t for about 2min?
send a screenshot
and press Ctrl + c
@ClownPierceneed to run it in val
so do i unplug the one in my room?
nope
k
lets try that after the pinging
aight
which router is the main one? the one in your room or living room?
it says req timed out
i think my living room
might be the wrong ip
type
ipconfig and find the Default Gateway
^ in cmd
alr run
ping 192.168.68.1 -t insteadk running
is it about time?
@lyra [ping for reply]
yeau
482ms... WHAT:gr_peepostare:
π
erm its your router/local network
try only using the living room router..
so i dont use ethernet?
wait do u mind me asking ur timezone?
@lyra [ping for reply]
gmt +2
well for now yes
i gotta sleep now, can we continue this like tmr
will u be free tmr?
fins the new gateway after connecting and run the same ping + the tracert
yes :hell_yeah:
aight i'll be on at like 10 am ur time
and prolly sleep like this time
I will be mid class
thx for the help so far, i hope we can fix it tmr
its fine
Im usually free after 4/5pm
alright
see u tmr
it's something locally so should be able to be a fix if you find the problem :thumbsUp:
i hope so
:theo_cool:
Ping me when available
in 6h
alr i'll be on then
@ClownPierce okay so basically the problem is between your computer and router, for some reason it takes EXTREMELY long time to communicate with each other, do you maybe have a second computer you could ping your router to see if it's for everyone or only your computer.
If it's for everyone there is something wrong with the "internet system" while if it's only your computer the problem might be your wifi card drivers or your OS etc
I do have another laptop
ping the router from it like you did on your pc
send a pic of the results
Alt
Alr
This one right?
should be
Aight
imo run ipconfig to just confirm that you got the correct ip
Ok
the ip will be at "default gateway"
I think
but it should be the same
Ye it is
aight do this
How long
Oh also this laptop isnβt connected to Ethernet
2-5min
the more the better
that should be fine
Alright
do a test with and without
K
better to have more data
Doing the non Ethernet rn
Also thereβs like 5 devices using the internet rn
:thumbsUp:
Which may affect the result
just curious, what router do you have
Uhh how do I know
on the router prob
Like the brand or wha
@lyra [ping for reply]
π
yeah nah
dw about it your computer is fine
not your wifi tho
Is it because thereβs too many devices connected?
you said you have the problem in val when you're alone too right?
Yea
then no
Like yesterday
Hmm
So how can I fix my WiFi
well
try to only use one router instead of two
might work
I will try in like 10 mins
then you find the new gateway address (if it is new) with ipconfig and run the ping to the adress
Aight
idk I saw cheap routers some times have issues
can u try smth dumb, restart router and do the test instantly after
their speed is 900mbps up and down a cheap router would not handle thatππ
honestly yeah
dude my 20$? or 30$ one has like 500
but yeah ur right
900 IS A LOT
still worth trying
agree
welp imma get back to class cya in 3h
Trying with just one router
that's wifi right
if it is I think it might be your router but just wait for lira she's the networking nerd ig
thats better way better, are you on eth or wireless?
cuz the avg is still high
go to class smh
wire less since i completely unplugged the router in my room
and how far away is the router from your computer ish?
its like in my living room
how far away is that/how many closed doors etc
second room from living room
so one room in front of my room
hmmm
try out val
think the second router was your issue :theo_cool:
alr
so i dont use my second router?
for now yes
Ok
back to class
tell me if it improved or noy
theres still stuttering
even in range
I'm too lazy to read all the prev stuff so, u checked u don't have packet loss right?
like in game
Lazy ass
The fuck
hey don't clutter other people's posts (AHAHA)
wiat let me try again
in game not from tracert just to be clear
since the packet loss might be from your router having issues with the data
trying that in range
i just look at the packet loss thing right?
yep
there is
sometime there is sometimes there not
not very often tho
@Lira :3 π₯ π‘
hmm ic
while playing val
should i connect back to my second router? @Lira :3 π₯ π‘
is the second router a repeater?
like
yeah ykwim
it is the one with ethernet
soo basically the main cable where you get your internet from the isp, which router is that one connected to
the main router is the one in my living room while i have this second router in my room with ethernet
and i think they are the same wifi thing
ok so how does the second router connect to the first one, wirelessly?
yea im pretty sure
ok so can u try something
yk the ethernet cable you use to connect to your pc on second router
ye
take it out, connect it to the first router
Basically connect to the first router with ethernet
then do the test
but its not long enough to plug it in my laptop
uhh isn't it a laptop..
just take it there to test it
oh ok
@Lira :3 π₯ π‘
yeah....
thats much better huh
ye
just wait for lyra ig im not that nerdy in networking
alright
Yea come from ur main fast fast
in 2 hours
Noted
huh im so confused, @Lira :3 π₯ π‘ is @lyra [ping for reply] ?
i have bipolar disorder
oh im sorry to hear
alright what the fuck
no they aren't
oh ok
is this with eth?
yea
on my main router
did you play without the living room router?
did it help?
no i connected my eth to the living room router
and it gets like 1 ping
wait I'm confused
wait I have one more class then we can talk about this in detail
alright
I THINK their main isp ethernet is connected to router one, which is wirelessly connected to router 2 (basically repeater) and this guy is using ethernet to connect to his pc with router 2, he gets high ping if he connects to router 2 using ethernet, or router 1 using wifi (since it doesnt reach his pc)
connecting to router 1 with ethernet directly gets 1 ping (so it isnt having any "issues"), so im guessing router 2 is either barely getting any signals or isnt working properly
and router 1 is too far away to connect with ethernet or directly connect to, (THIS IS JUST WHAT I GOT I COULD BE WRONG)
:thumbsUp:
@ClownPierce basically your wifi set up is not optimal
hmm
is there a waiy i can fix it
try to use a wifi extender than another router maybe, or if possible drill a hole in your wall and drag a Ethernet cable through it
maybe movie the main router Closer to your room and use wireless
so do i gotta play on ethernet?
imo just remove the second router completely
hmm
is there any ways to make my second router work n ormally?
not really, drag a Ethernet cable from router 1 to 2
yea that would be hard
hmmmm
try to get a wifi extender
let me search em up
sometimes it gets worse sometimes it's better
I used to use a wifi extender and it was pretty okay
what about now
pardon?
do u ;still use it now?
nah
moved to a new place and I didn't need an extender
will moving it close help?
the first router
it might, but honestly I think it's that second router messing you up
cuz your ping is better playing wireless than with your second router
oh
so my best bet is to get a wifi extender now?
honestly it's a gamble
Ideally avoid everything wireless and use Ethernet strait to your ISP issued router :Iso_GG:
the problem is that my main router is in my living room, so it's really hard to connect ethernet with it whilst playing
ideally avoid everything and your isl then move into riot server and connect straight up to the server:val_KekwSob:
If Ethernet is not an option then 5G wifi second best thing, but range on those are short
And it will never be as good as physical cable
i can use ethernet but @lyra [ping for reply] says that it's worse than not using it
Essentially you are sending packets through air, walls, steel beams etc.
yeah cuz you are using eth plugged into a second router that is wirelessly connected to the main router
Does you pc have wifi?
imma use my art skills I might be bad at explaining
Modern ISP routers have preconfigured 5G SSIDs to use usually
i use laptop
:Felix_lurk_FB:
So play in living room via Ethernet :val_KekwSob: :val_KekwSob:
i could but i have a monitor
Keep the laptop on ur lap and use the touchpad :val_HeyApple:
but kenji real talk OP is using router 1 that connects wirelessly to router 2 and router 2 conects with eth to computer, wouldnt a wifi extender just be better than using a router as an extender??
I sure hope this man doesn't have two routers at home and you are just naming shit incorrectly
i do :val_KekwSob:
Pics or it didn't happen
LMFAO
and one of em was in your room
damn
yep
imo just use wireless without the second router
the difference between ethernet with first router and second router π
Where does your ISP connects to? To that circle router?
i think the one thats lit up with green light
lowkey i feel like there is already a wifi extender
what if your signal went from router 1 to wifi extender then to router 2
keke
to router 2 wireless?
yes π
idk
just thought iut would be funny
lowkey i think thats whats happening π
alright good luck guys imma overclock my pc
me
like not even valorant, i cant even like watch youtube while opening another app
it will lag so bad
you tried playing wirelessly to the main router right?
What speeds do u get btw?
im connected to my main router wirelessly now
900mbps up/down
how do i know
try out val
alr
i think might be miximg up now hto
wait
Cuz that just screams a bad router/wifi adapter or very slow internet
wait no
shit i was wrong
whoopsis
must have mixed up sorry
Do a speed test?
go to speedtest . net (remove the spaces)
ok
The dc server logo
Gosh i love the classic red one
wait with or without ethernet
Try both
this is without ethernet
"900 mbps"
Now try ethernet
ok
π
i
erm
must
have
mixed
people up
sorry
with ethernet
:val_Hampter:
Uh huh
So i have a question
go on
Why do u have 2 routers?
idk
Are they like completely seperate from each other?
i think they are the same internet
but idk how they work
Which one is the wifi thats giving out like the actual internet thing
π
What am i even saying
i think the one in the living room
U think?
And why do u think that?
Me when people don't know the difference between a modem and a router :c
cuz there are much more wires
Never heard of one tbh
What are they again?
Do they like increase the coverage?
i think the only way i get good internet is connecting ethernet on my main router
π
Soo do routers have a modem fixed inside em?
think mine is router
Some do yeah.
Wdym some
How do the others give internet if they don't have a modem?
Some are combos where they have a modem and a router combined into one unit. But depending on who your network provider is they may give you an individual modem and router.
Aah
Figured
Having em separate seems to be a bit unconventional
(Coaxial) Cable from the wall -> Modem -> Ethernet cable -> Router -> Devices
Figured that much
help please six singapore server issues
im cooked if i stayed this bad internet
But can they straight up connect to the modem by wifi and ethernet?
https://youtu.be/p4h4sqB4rS4 look at how laggy this is π
Without connecting to the router
and it happens like every single game
i just disabled 50% of ma cores ez
You'll have no local network. The funny private IP address that allows devices to talk to each other. You'll have no Wifi. And the device you plug in is the only device that will have a connection to the Internet
@lyra [ping for reply] if i get a wifi extender, do i need to use second router?
ur wifi system gave me a very tiny headache
:val_KekwSob:
hmmm so like... why are the 2 things seperate
i think nobody uses my wifi system π
Probably makes it easier to repair and troubleshoot in case of issues
hmmm so the thing is... either my isp is stupid or im not understanding things right, my isp gives a direct fiber optic from like 1 km away
that goes straight into router
wait no
not straight into router
theres this dividing thingy
then goes into router
does everyone here only has one router?
most people that dont use it to play games yes
can i just use mine to play games?
not with that setup
what do people usually do?
There is a modem inside the router then
directly connect ethernet to pc
or
Like most routers
ethernet to second router
ethernet to pc from second router
^
im pretty sure if you
@lyra [ping for reply] Your twin is here
connect your router 2 with ethernet
:val_KekwSob:
itll be okay
even if router 2 is wireless
but how is the eth cable long enough to connect router 2
idk i guess most ppl have ehternet cabvles
like
i know
in my house we have like a 40 feet fiber optic and my dad knows how toput the connector on the end
use that whenever
Scary how similar you guys are.
I'm convinced you have two discord clients open
Pika pika
LOL
i wish i have that wire too
back off buddy
nah flip this imma go sleep
ure rude </3
its 10am...
timezones
What zone?
Can u take a video of the router thing in ur room then go to the living room and show the wifi there?
:val_HeyApple:
im 6h ahead
You still in us?
i unplugged the one in my room rn cuz @lyra [ping for reply] says its better to just use the living room one
no
home long time ago
THAT'S STILL 4pm
yep
Uh
@Saucywan u sure they have a seperate modem?
No
How the hell would I know
See this isn't minecraft where I have spectator mode
their jitters go up to 500ms and wireless its 60ms
If I did I would be able to answer that question
Nah cuz u came in all confident like "me when you don't know the difference between a router and a modem"
:val_KekwSob:
Exactly :)
is there anything i could do to let u know?
Ur wifi is confusing
if you try really hard....
idk why my parents set it up like that π
I don't think ur parents set up the wifi :val_HelloBro:
i think they hired some technician or smth
Kenji is gonna have a heart attack reading this
π
To sum it up:-this godly human being has 2 routers in his house and 1 router is connected to another router??? 2nd router=10 mbps on wifi, 40 mbps on ethernet?? (Main wifi, not tested)
Type shi
:val_KekwSob:
should i try a speedtest with ethernet on main router?
Fs
Do a wifi test with it too
Wireless one
94 download and upload
@jidat
@lyra [ping for reply] im pretty sure i already have a wifi extender, cuz i saw it has a ethernet connecting to the living room router
but i really do not care ab out download and upload speed, the only thing i care about is the random high ping spikes i get mid game
like pretty much once every round
Ur best bet will be to get an ethernet cable and connect to ur main router and sit in the living room
sick my butt
:Eat:
!?
but i have a monitor and stuff
fever liar
I wasn't lying
I legit haven't left my bed from yesterday morning
dip your head in ice water ez
its ok you dont need to leave your bed to scam call ppl
:val_KekwSob: :val_KekwSob: :val_KekwSob:
Thats actually funny
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Uk what won't be funny tho?
Me calling the mods on u for stereotyping people and getting u banned
:val_HeyApple:
NO
acutally
wait no
YOOO
is it a good idea to get a hella long ethernet cable to connect it all the way from my living room to my room?
Yea, if thats possible
Also
Figure out why tf u have 2 routers
alr i have sum questions
ok π
go ahead
how long
is the ethernet
u use
to connect from router 2 to pc
I can't load into a val match cuz of my hdd :val_Hampter:
Ps i had a female person on my team
:val_Hampter: :val_Hampter:
like 1 meter π
is it enough to connect router 1 to router 2
i can confidently say no
nvm then
even nif its long enough, what am i gonna do, connect it to my room and the cable will be exposed in the corridor
im so cooked, i have to move to a new place quick
Yeah that's important information
