Latency problems

[hents1230]

Hello!

I have been googling for a long time and I still haven't found solution to my problem.

Well, I'm a gamer and I play FPS games(CS 1.6) and I'm getting terrible lag spikes.Like ping is 30 and then it goes 80 and then it lowers again.And I repeats whole time, which makes gaming difficult.[Quiting is not a solution]

Now, I've made a traceroute

Tracing route to neti.ee [195.50.209.246]

My connection : I don't know the real type of my connection.However it's like that - I got two routers
1)Linksys Wrt54g2 that divides the internet to mine and my sisters computer(It just devides)
2)Then there is somekind of broadband router[From Edimax] that get signal from Linksys router and sends signal to local internet mast(tower or something.ISP thing that takes my signal and sends it to ISP headquarter)

[At TCP/IP settings I use a IP to connect to the ISP and it doesn't connect automaticly]

Some pictures of my settings -

anyone?

 

[tkrl26]

during the LAG spikes is your sister streaming video or surfing the net? Maybe downloading music/anything? Is your WIFI encrypted? Have you updated your routers firmware?

Thanks for a response!

Well, we have 2 different IPs that connect to ISP, so if she's downloading something then that should effect me unless router slows down or something.

My linksys firmware is updated to dd-wrt one, nothing done to Edimax.

 

[tkrl26]

Are they two different connections, or one connection with two routers, making two different LAN's?

If its one connection to the ISP with two routers, everything from both networks will effect the latency of your connection. This is because its all being crammed through one connection which is limited to the (Max up and down) speed you are allowed set by the ISP.

II'll try to explain again - My and my sisters comps are set on 2 different static IPs[One ends with .1.68 and other .1.67]

We used to get IP through linksys router, which was one IP, but then we asked IP another one.So now Linksys router is just a inbetweener.When signal is sent to Linksys router, it sends it without doing it to the Edimax router, then that sends signal to antenna and that to internet mast(tower) and then the ISP receives it.

So I quess we are connect with two different IPs to the ISP, so our Inet bandwidth is equal and not connected with eachother.

My internet speed is 50kb/s, so has my sister

The Linksys router is connected to Edimax router?
This is your router - Linksys by Cisco Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G2 so both you and your sister is connected by wire because you mention IP on both of you. You don't need the Edimax - The setup is like this you have a modem which connect to your router then the PCs either be connected by wire or wireless.

It could be that one of the router is used as an access point to get signal from the nearby hot spot.

Edimax router has an antenna port, that's why I need it.And I need Linksys router to divide internet between my sister and my comp, because Edimax router as only one lan port

Internet connection has gone smoother.
I'll get my sisters results later as she's sleeping atm

 

[hents1230]

please update the firmware on your router aswell

I rebooted.You commands deleted my IP and DNS server addresses, so I had to add them again.Without them I've got no connection.

Linksys router is running on latest DD-WRT firmware and for Edimax, there's no updates.

and i cant help you if you star out the ip numbers.

Xp ok. Do you have the patched tcip or unpatched one. Because by default windows xp only allow 10 simulations connections. Google for a app called tcip patcher. you can patch it on the fly without installing anything and increase your connections to 256. Disable your firewall and test your connection. Do you have a anti virus on your pc?

First off, Thanks for helping me and wasting your own time.

No, I haven't patched TCP/IP, but I'll do it now.I took windows firewall off and I don't have any other anti-virus protection program installed.It's just a gaming PC and I just play online games with it.

The reason why DHCP is off, is my father and he's friend played Age of Empires multiplayer over Internet mast[Kinda like lan, but they were at their homes.]However, to enable that, they had to turn DCHP off and give all computers IP's.

 

[hents1230]

ok they did portforwarding. how many computers are there on the network? how many routers?

i need a ipconfig from one of the other pcs aswell. when they portforward it they set only on pcs static ip. they shouldve set all of them. because dhcp will hand out ips to other pcs which will end with a ip conflict. check if there aint any static ip set on the router aswell.

There are mostly 2 computers connected : mine and my sisters.However, sometimes my father surfs internet on laptop through WIFI.

I got a question about MTU.Which MTU i should use or is the best for me?
My speedtest :

Thanks

Are you using DSL? What kind of service do you have? What bandwidth are you paying for?

 

[hents1230]

Are you using DSL? What kind of service do you have? What bandwidth are you paying for?

I don't really know my connection type.Read the posts, mby you'll figure it out.

I'm playing CS 1.6 so bandwidth isn't not high

service?

 

[Psychoteddy]

You really need to figure out what type of connection you have. It's vital to troubleshooting WAN networks like this. Does the connection run through your phone lines or through your cable TV lines?

I got somekind of receiver/antenna on top of my house, which takes and sends signals to the ISP mast/tower/[it's like 300m away, without any obsticales blocking the view]what ever you wanna call it.That tower sends it to ISPs headquater.[Like 30km from where I live]What happens after, dont know

About routers : One router is sending/receving signals and router other just divides it to my and my sisters computers.

thats it.

Sounds like an optical connection directly to your ISP's local hub. These can run into a lot of problems with things getting in the way. 30 km is a lot of ground to cover with no obstruction. How high is the mast on your house?

antenna on my house isn't high - It's like 7m from the ground.The ISP mast is about 30m tall atleast.And the ISP headquarter's receiver is much higher.

I misunderstood you, I thought that you were transmitting to the ISP HQ 30 Km away

That doesn't sound like the issue then.

.48 Mbps is PAINFULLY slow. The problem lies with your ISP, I guarantee it. Get ahold of them and raise hell until they come out and troubleshoot it. Your actual latency is fine, but your bandwidth is garbage. When you call I'd ask them first what speed you're supposed to get BEFORE going into troubleshooting or mentioning anything about trouble with your connection. If it's anything over 768Kbps, then they need to fix the issue.

So I can't do anything more?Even for CS bandwidth is ***?

Problem is : it's a free internet.Local municipality is owning the ISP and they made so, that internet to this region is completly free.And what is even worse, there isn't anymore around that offers internet, even for money.

My Cousin works for the municipality and for the ISP, I'll ask him if there is something that they could do.

Thanks for help

 

[Psychoteddy]

No problem

Yes, this is low enough bandwidth to cause issues with online gaming such as CS. Esp if this is split b/w you and your sister.

Good luck, I'm sorry to hear that the government has monopolized the internet service in your area Maybe you should start your own ISP!!!
