2017-10-12 08:24:36 UTC  

no

2017-10-12 08:24:40 UTC  

get powerline adapters

2017-10-12 08:24:59 UTC  

I'm gonna live in a dorm next year without ethernet

2017-10-12 08:25:04 UTC  

That technology all comes down to your house wireing, so no thanks.

2017-10-12 08:25:06 UTC  

So I **need** wifi

2017-10-12 08:25:10 UTC  

I see.

2017-10-12 08:25:36 UTC  

Isn't it possible to talk them into giving you ethernet cable access in your room?

2017-10-12 08:26:43 UTC  

I got put into one of the older buildings without ethernet in the walls, it's wifi only

2017-10-12 08:26:55 UTC  

Oh damn

>gaming on dorm internet

2017-10-12 08:27:03 UTC  

forget about it

2017-10-12 08:27:09 UTC  

Sorry to hear that. You will not be able to live without lag.

2017-10-12 08:27:16 UTC  

dorm internet is minimum 100/100 here

2017-10-12 08:27:30 UTC  

crowded wifi with a guaranteed shit router means you will never have any less than 200ms

2017-10-12 08:27:37 UTC  

Dude the speeds are 100mb down 50 up

2017-10-12 08:27:51 UTC  

that's not the problem

2017-10-12 08:27:56 UTC  

idk about latency, I could only ping google.com on the wifi on my phone and it was around 50ms

2017-10-12 08:29:05 UTC  

So is that wifi card any good for recieving the speeds capable?

2017-10-12 08:29:16 UTC  

I'm no expert on wifi technology

2017-10-12 08:31:02 UTC  

lfmao wi-fi only? there is a fiber plug in every room here. based statefunded internet architecture.

2017-10-12 08:31:41 UTC  

he's going to be living in an old building, not the new ones. Ofc there's no fiber plug.

2017-10-12 08:32:18 UTC  

I've heard the wifi is really good from the residents living there

2017-10-12 08:32:33 UTC  

Keep in mind these are macbook and iphone loving people

2017-10-12 08:32:38 UTC  

>dorm
well if they do 802.11 only then you're fucked for gayming anyway

2017-10-12 08:32:55 UTC  

the sheer amount of 2.4ghz noise and devices will make it hard to play vidya

2017-10-12 08:34:28 UTC  

what is best case scenario?

2017-10-12 08:34:30 UTC  

200ms?

2017-10-12 08:34:41 UTC  

i'm not much worried about latency

2017-10-12 08:34:44 UTC  

but rather packet loss

2017-10-12 08:35:09 UTC  

My friend lives in a dorm, he uses an wifi card in his pc, he lags in fps, something like 90-100ms

2017-10-12 08:35:14 UTC  

if you can ping from your phone with a terminal emulator, try ``ping -s 1000 -c 5000 8.8.8.8``

2017-10-12 08:35:26 UTC  

1k packet size, 5000 times, google dns

2017-10-12 08:35:52 UTC  

actually

2017-10-12 08:36:06 UTC  

make it 1000 times, that should be enough and end quicker

2017-10-12 08:36:12 UTC  

and check the packet loss

2017-10-12 08:36:15 UTC  

at the end

2017-10-12 08:36:18 UTC  

@Austin that's not bad wtf

2017-10-12 08:36:31 UTC  

it enough for him to lag, that's for sure

2017-10-12 08:36:48 UTC  

also check ping times to the router
