Isn't it possible to talk them into giving you ethernet cable access in your room?
I got put into one of the older buildings without ethernet in the walls, it's wifi only
Oh damn
>gaming on dorm internet
forget about it
Sorry to hear that. You will not be able to live without lag.
dorm internet is minimum 100/100 here
crowded wifi with a guaranteed shit router means you will never have any less than 200ms
Dude the speeds are 100mb down 50 up
that's not the problem
idk about latency, I could only ping google.com on the wifi on my phone and it was around 50ms
So is that wifi card any good for recieving the speeds capable?
I'm no expert on wifi technology
lfmao wi-fi only? there is a fiber plug in every room here. based statefunded internet architecture.
he's going to be living in an old building, not the new ones. Ofc there's no fiber plug.
I've heard the wifi is really good from the residents living there
Keep in mind these are macbook and iphone loving people
>dorm
well if they do 802.11 only then you're fucked for gayming anyway
the sheer amount of 2.4ghz noise and devices will make it hard to play vidya
what is best case scenario?
i'm not much worried about latency
but rather packet loss
My friend lives in a dorm, he uses an wifi card in his pc, he lags in fps, something like 90-100ms
if you can ping from your phone with a terminal emulator, try ``ping -s 1000 -c 5000 8.8.8.8``
1k packet size, 5000 times, google dns
actually
make it 1000 times, that should be enough and end quicker
and check the packet loss
at the end
it enough for him to lag, that's for sure
also check ping times to the router
it's to the point where he just went back to wow because of the lagh
if it's shit weak device it will take longer to reply due to the traffic
alright I'm rich what chinkshit do I buy this time
actually I should refrain from buying chinkshit before Christmas because the post office won't be able to handle it
