I know what you’re talking about, I’ve been disconnected because of a garbage truck before because they have radios. But all those problems are gone.
we have 300 mbps in the house, half it is most likely used by 6 4K security cameras. We also have 3 Alexa’s one with a tablet that is continuously obtaining a lot of data. We have a Mac computer that has never been shut off for almost 3 years and I still never tried a speed test on what it’s getting wirelessly. So if it’s even getting 50 to 100 that leaves us with 75 mbps. Then we have 2 phones that aren’t mine and 2 iPads, and the iPads are usually on that aren’t mine. And those devices are on the default settings for updates and notifications. This doesn’t even include the total number of device which in total is 32 wireless devices.
I only use 4 mbps at max. My mini network gives me control of what I can do about the situation, my computer is configured to make sure issues don’t occur when I’m playing video games that only need 33.6 kbps. The adjustments I’ve had done on my devices that provide my mini wireless network always seem to improve success rate of server time out reduction. I only lose 1.0 percent of my packets for a entire of 16 hours straight of wireless connectivity. I’ve ran 7 devices on 6 mbps without any problems, no video buffering, no gaming lag, and it probably could’ve been more if it weren’t for hardware limitations and on the number of devices I got. Pure wireless can be done. 6 mbps is a estimate due to forgetting to observe a few other things, but that doesn’t really change anything. I never hear my one complain about the receiver or the transmitter in these devices anyways. And that’s usually the problem. Cause chances are people have extremely good internet and they still say it’s slow.
a cellphone doesn’t have the best receiver, a cell phone or radio tower transmitting that for you so you can have a compact phone. The misunderstand the rules and regulations of the FCC and transmitting massive amounts of data from a unit that broadcast radio signals and not receiving. Those are two different things and the fact remains a wireless network can do a certain amount of feet on paper when it comes to distance, but don’t even know what the CPU’s of all these devices and routers are doing while dependent on radio transmissions there is always going to be problems even if you stand right next to it.
there’s so many factors to include even if you have a 500 dollar wireless router.
I my advice. If you get something brand new on the market with this new tech, you have to understand that you might be stuck with it for a long time or you will be stuck buying even more and new stuff until it works and it’s costly and unstable when you realize it’s for the the sake of having internet access.
people to this day still provide misinformation about these devices and the biggest conundrum is not knowing the difference between mbps and MBps, and the fact that if you’re using a windows machine for example. What you’re usually seeing is the decimal amounts for data and not the binary conversions, and apple computers does binary. So it’s a mess, and when I find out people in rural areas are trying to watch Netflix and browse the internet on satellite internet and god knows what multiple devices.. and then try DSL and complain about it? No. I’m not accepting it.
wireless can be done and be recommended for online gaming I didn’t see here so aggressive testing and stabilizing the wireless connections for all this time, day in and day out to be told that someone with a specialization in IT and not specifying that expertise of point of interest... come on man.. I know for a fact that dial up inter via 56k modem is sustainable and still a good choice if you. Know. What. You’re. Doing. The fact these routers do even have a init string command or some of these modems do not have them has put more problems on the consumer, because they assume they want try anything, so now all we get is a handful of settings, and on the newer devices some of those settings are taken out. To this day, I still have a old linksys wireless N usb 300N adapter, and by default factory setting it will crash my windows PC, just like it was brand new. A wireless linksys usb 1200AC by default was giving me the same issues, and but this time, by default it’s stuck on AC, and gods knows what was wrong with the wireless N USB adapter when I was young, cause even after a firmware update which I know exists I still had connection issues, and I was in the room next door to the router. But somebody was using all the mbps on my wireless network, and not even understanding what his computer does while he even games. And then that was the same thing on my end, but I still took as many steps blindly not having tools to address the issue and... I still had problems playing quake 3 arena, but for some reason Metroid prime hunters on a DS and unreal tournament 3 on a Xbox 360 had literally no issues, until his computer decided it needed to automatically use bandwidth, knowing that World of Warcraft during those days barely uses 16 kbps in total and that’s technically 8kbps each for both upload and download.
if you reject old games and what limitations they has to deal with back in the day and how they overcome them with dial up internet including the big 3, 28.8 kbps, 33.6 kbps, and the 56 kbps modems.. no.. I achieved less than 90 ping on a quake 3 arena for a Sega Dreamcast using its dial up 56k modem. The entire benefit of that working online and still play it today and many other old games that still have servers.. if you want to play games wirelessly, it can be done, and it can be done with massive interference from other wireless devices. Cause you still have to ask yourself.. if cellphone companies can still provide service in a stadium full of people... then why can’t I do it with my own wireless network in a highly dense area? Cause people still don’t know init strings are used today and they are paying for a 2nd internet service.
gaming can be done online wirelessly. And it actually can work extremely well, especially if literally have no access to the main router/modem.. cause these combos are a disaster and do not have the proper dbi antennas.
for gaming, you need the proper bandwidth with a maximum of 9 mbps download and a maximum of 1 upload to play any game you want online. You will want 100 percent signal and observe the reading consistently. One glance is not good enough and one way of doing is not good enough. If you want to broadcast radio waves and use them, you’re gonna want to configure everything to the point where it’s going to be in your favor.
dial up internet is still useable to this day even for gaming and some of the newer ones. The issue is do not use AOL, and do not refuse the fact that wireless internet can’t be used for gaming.
