Hi everyone,
I came here hoping to find an explanation to my problem. As the title say, I experience massive latency spikes, and it happens when I play COD Warzone. It's over a month that i try to find a solution, cause the issue is, for me, pretty strange. I'll try to give every info I have and every method I tried from different sources.
So first is my network configuration. My house has 4 floors: -2,-1,0,1. Th einternet connection from my ISP comes in at floor 0 where it connects to my modem/router (given by the ISP). My modem router has 4 lan ports, so i used cat5 cables to connect every floor. At the moment, the active connection are an AP at floor -1, an AP at floor 1. I use my laptop at floor 1, connected to the AP. When I play Warzone I notice that the game lags massively and from the data that I read it is the latency fault, massive latency spikes, which make the game unplayable. My first though was that a wifi connection was not very good so i bought a netgear switch (GS305, 5 ports). So now at floor 1 I have the cable from the router connected to the switch . To the switch itself I connected the previously used TpLink AP and my laptop via cat5 cable. The problem remains and I experience the lag spikes. I tried to disconnect the AP from the switch, leaving only my laptop connected but same problem. I tried replacing the switch with an older one I had, same problem. The thing is, if I am connected via LAN directly to my router it all goes well, i tried connecting via cable at floor 1 and at floor 0 and no problem whatsoever. After the switch I tried again via WIFI but again same problem. Note that i experience this just in game, every day internet surfing, film streaming, youtube watching is all fine in each of the previous configurations. I tried giving fixed IP to my laptop and changing DNS but no results. I tried turning off all the devices connected to the network leaving only my laptop, no results. I tried the port forwarding options on my router, leaving the game's ports open, no results.
So my conclusion is, it is not the ISP fault, cause from the router it works fine. It is not the switch fault cause I replaced it and also tried without it. It is not the AP cause I tried without it. It is not the games' servers. What could it be? I just can't find a solution to this.
Little note, I palyed battlefield for a bit when connected via WIFI and i did not experience problems of any kind, but from when this all started i experience rubberbanding and lag spikes i battlefield also.
All the help is greatly appreciated, i mean, just reading all this rant must be a pain so ...
If I need to give you more info of any type I'll do.
