Where are the switches used in your drawing - the one switch is old 10/100 - VERY SLOW. Do you have its dhcp server turned off? What is its IP. My computer is one of the two connected straigh to the modem in the third floor. So I thought whatever was connected to the switch was faulty right? I unplug everything from the switch and connect it like that (just switch +2 pcs on modem, and nothing connected to the switch except the modem), and I got the same problem.Įdit: the switch I disconnect for the testings is the one in the third floor. What really bugs me is that at first I also thought the switch was faulty,so I got a new one. I can give more info when I'm at home, but the drawing is the gist of it. Unfortunately I checked this topic when I was home and noone had answered, and I checked it again at work and got these answers. The computer is either connected to what I called signal spread in the drawing, or its wifi, I don't remember now.

There is a home theather setup there, with a computer. The switch also connects to something I'll call signal spread (maybe its another switch, I also don't know) in the room upstairs.
WIFI LAG SWITCH PS4
There is also a ps4 there connected to the switch sometimes. Of the 3 computers in the third floor, mine and another one is connected straight to the modem and the other one is in the switch. Phones in the second floor get good wi-fi and the computers there get normal LAN internet connection. On the second floor the computers are connected to what I'll say is a switch but i don't really know, what I know is that whatever it is, its connected to the switch on my room (third floor). I am not exactly sure of everything connected to the modem/switches (it wasnt me who did the networks here nor do I have the knowledge to), but this is what I know:Īll of the lines drawn are ethernet cables connected, those I know for sure are connected like that. I thought it was a faulty switch too, so I borrowed one that works and it gets the same problem.

I think its connected to a signal spread of some kind. Well the Wifi stops working after I disconnect the switch. Not home right now so can't post some pictures i took of this, but will do when I get there. I've also tried connecting just the switch (with nothing connected on the switch itself), and it still lags out.Īlso changed the wifi password, and I KNOW (please stop asking this) that there is nobody downloading anything. I've tried using another switch that works perfectly for other people, but it does the same.

I can't leave it disconnected though, because I live with my parents and 3 brothers, and the switch (if im not mistaken) is responsible for the wifi and a couple other computers. And it won't stop.īut if I take out the switch (not even reseting the modem), the ping will INSTANTLY go down to 23. When the lag starts, it goes from 23ms (pinging ) to 200-400-1k ms. My modem has my pc, my two other brother's pcs and the switch connected. This way I don't get this lag I'm talking about, so trying other stuff I figured out that the one who was lagging everything was the switch. It'd be 4 am and nobody but me awake and I'd get very heavy lag.Īfter multiple technicians from my internet provider came and couldnt figure it out, changing modem after modem, I tried something and it worked: I connected the modem straight to my PC.

So for a while now we've been having heavy random lag at my house without anyone else using.
