Hey everyone,
Recently I've been hosting a game server and on my router (lan port, not wirelessly), pings go from ~200ms (idle) to 8000ms+ (combat w/ tons of packets being sent).
When directly connected to my modem, pings range from <20ms (idle) ~100ms (combat).
Now my question is should I upgrade my router? It's old, it is a linksys wireless-g, 2.4ghz, and 54mbps.
I have two other users on my network, thats why I need the router or else id just switch to modem. In total, 2 wireless connectors, and 1 lan connection.
I know that routers split bandwidth up, but the difference between 8000ms and 100ms is astronomical.
I have about a 300$ budget, but I don't know if I want to spend the money if it won't help me at all.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Joe
