can a second router help me?

[Programmingscientist]

I have a router in my house and whenever i'm playing a game with no-one on the wifi I get good ping on csgo but whenever 2 or more people join the network at start browsing the internet my ping on the game would rise up to 1000+ resulting in the game unplayable, so my speculation is that there are too many people on the router at the same time using the internet causing a slowdown, so my question is that if i get another router and use that solely for my computer would that eliminate the bottleneck and resulting in a better connection for me? Thanks everyone.

Look you can try a new router or you can take the bill001g advice and crawl under a rock and never ever buy a new router. There are more advantages to a new router than trying to improve the internet speed by buying the latest router.

If you are using ethernet already, then a gigabit router will help most. Also make sure that the modem itself is a good one.

And how much faster will a gig router run than a 100m router when it is connected to a 13m internet connection.

The first article you linked was very relevant....do not buy more router than you actually need.

Any discussion of wireless is a moot point because he is using ethernet. When you look at wireless the router is only half the issue so it is never as simple as just buy a faster wireless....which again the first article you linked clearly stated. Do you not read what you recommend others read.

It will be faster transferring files (10 x faster roughly).

Your personal attacks are not helping your arguments. I posted the artices to clear up the point for the OP from an independent source. And yes (for the second time), I know what was in the article. I posted it!

Posting wrong information is worse that not posting at all. I would have ignored it if you posted it once but you had to argue that a new router would fix all his problems.

You are as wrong as you can be thinking that upgrading to gig ports will increase the download speed 10 times. It will still only run 13m. Now if he had a 10m port and upgraded it to 100m he would get 3m more.

There are more than your personal views. You have expressed them.You continue to argue with yourself. We are not in a debate. So kindly grow up.

It is up to the OP to make his own decisions.

Transferring files does not equate with downloading files. Don't put words in my mouth.

I see you now change the definition of the problem to be something you define rather than what the op is reporting. Where does he even mention his issue is with transferring of data within his house.

To even imply that is what is he is talking about shows you do not know how networking works. Because the lan ports on a router are a separate switch chip you will never see high latency he is reporting. The delay between the ports is basically unmeasuable it is so small, and if you get a overload you get packet loss not delay.

The largest issue with your posts is you started that he should get a better router because all the fancy faster wireless would fix his problems without knowing other details about his installation. You then actually link a very good article that pretty much says the opposite. It clearly says it does no good if the rest of your equipment can not use the abilities.


Networking is not a opinion contest is factual. You can have a opinion on which interface is easier to use but not on how things actually work.

Besides, wifi is quite useless at most ranges. If you can sit right next to router, sure, you might get 50 mbit or something but if you are 5 metres away you are looking at around 10 mbit max. Deteriorates very fast.

Listen to Bill.

I haven't tried bandwidth control but I assume you do it via IP-address. So assign a static LAN IP to your machine and make it the top dog, the one IP that gets most of the bandwidth.
Bind your Mac address to IP.

So you have never heard of transferring files. . THEN Google it. I am using terms that anyone familiar with computing would know..

Where is the moderator??????

The op stated later in the post that he is using Ethernet no wireless.
