PLAYING TO WIN
Noob
Looking for networking professionals to weigh in here.
I have a standard modem and a wireless non-modem router. When I am playing online, I turn off the router, hard reset the modem then directly connect to it. For years I read that was the absolute best set up to have. You bypass all of the built in security of the router. I also read that no matter how you configure your router, other shared devices CAN have an effect on online play. When I am not playing I run the modem to the router to have home wifi.
It is pain having to switch everything over and not having access to home wifi when I am playing but I hardly ever have issues.
The main goal of this thread is to find out if there are alternative setups with the newest/best generation of modem/router devices that will allow wifi and to maintain the best possible online play experience.
I would love to see a networking guide developed by a professional. Help to educate this community THAT I CONSTANTLY SEE TYPING/WATCHING STREAM CHATS WHILE PLAYING THEIR MATCHES AND CONNECTING TO THEIR NEIGHBORS WIFI WHILE UPLOAD TORRENTS! STOP IT!!!
I really prefer a profession or a link to a professional discussion non the matter. Not that I don't trust TYMers on the matter... ohhh wait I don't.
