Hey guys!

So right now I'm at a little bit of a crossroads... Well, I guess it isn't that bad.

Basically I'm looking to really boost my internet situation. Right now I'm running on a custom built rig, with a Netgear external wifi card. It's been ok, however at times I find myself playing csgo at 400 ping. I remember the days when I'd get 4. Man that was nice. However I don't really get that anymore.


So... Any ideas from you all? Here's what I have going right now.

--Computer upstairs that can't be moved.

--Xfinity dual band modem/router combo downstairs, other side of the house. Can't be moved.

--Netgear AC12000 or something like that plugged into my usb 3.1 port


Also if upgrading anything else could help me out, please say so!

Thanks!

Most people problems with wireless are all the other people using wireless in homes around them. You never should play games on wireless but it has become even more obvious in the later years because of the increase in wireless usage.

You have more and more people buying the latest toys like the tri band routers. These routers use almost every available wireless channel so just 1 person can interfere with everyone and if you have multiple of these routers near you it becomes impossible to find wireless bandwidth.

As suggested above I would consider powerline networks devices. Try to avoid the 200m and even 500m models, the newer devices work much better and are only a small amount of money more.
