[SOLVED] Tweaks to reduce packet loss and ping spikes for online gaming

[Rohit gandikota]

I have a D Link DIR 615 router that's connected to a cable modem. I'm getting a up and down speed of 30 mbps which is fine. The problem lies in the output. I've been facing packet loss and ping spikes in games most of the time. This happens usually once in 5 minutes. Do I need to change any router settings and which ones to enhance the performance of the router?

Where are the losses and spikes occurring?

What tool/utility/commands are you using to note the packet losses and spikes.

It appears that you are using ping - confirm or correct as necessary.

What do you see if you use pathping and tracert?

Oops. I don't have much knowledge about the things you're asking. I'm just a newbie in this. Well, I keep noticing ping spikes in online games, it jumps from 20 to 600 sometimes and then takes a while to come back to normal. So I was just asking whether I have to make any tweaks on my router to improve it?

If you're connecting wirelessly, this is to be expected in a noisy environment. Your solution is to wire it--that should solve the problems once and for all.
