Bad online gaming connection
I switched to verizon recently and I am having all sorts of problems with in game latency and frequent disconnects. Enclosed are some traceroutes I have run showing my problems.

I have many more but I think you can see the issues. I have opened and triggered the ports on the router and the firewall on the wireless computer for the game. I have upgraded firmware and have spent countless hours on the phone with tech support from both Linksys and Verizon. Still I can not get a stable connection to the game.
An example of my issues occured yesterday - cordless phone rang and my game froze untill the machine picked up. The game resumed immediatly after.
I am 30 feet from the router. All drivers are up to date. The game is World of Warcraft. Is there anything else I can do to improve my connection?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I do not know what Linksys or Verizon support told you to do, but let's do this...
#1 At Status -> Router, is going to be the firmware of the router.
Firmware is like an OS. Usually firmware adds and fixes features.
What firmware are you on?
The most update firmware for the WRT54Gv5, seems to be released on 07/01/2008
Ver.1.02.6
1.67 MB
Source -> http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G/download
#2 At Setup -> Basic Setup, when the router is setup to use PPPoE - the router setup to use connect on demand or keep alive.
b) If connect on demand, what is the max idle time?
c) If keep alive, what is the redial period?
#3 With your modem not in bridge mode, in it go to Trouble Shooting -> Transceiver Status.
And post the results..

WRT160N Online Gaming connection spikes
When i play games online such as Americas Army or other FPS games i get good pings to servers (sub 40ms) but i still get spikes of lag every minute or so. I first started getting this some time ago with my old WRV54G and could find no way to fix it so recently i purchased a WRT160N v2 router to replace it. I also upgraded from a USB adaptor to a pci card in my machine to access my wireless network.
It seemed fine for the first few days but now it has started doing the exact same thing again... On my old router i tried everything, opened ports, DMZ etc and nothing seemed to help short of connecting my PC directly to my cable modem.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

29298Could try another ethernet, if you have not already, you also could try the different ethernet sockets in the modem again you might have done this. Try the xbox erthernet cable with lap top or other device (not wise if the cable is faulty).
From what you post I would be looking at faulty erthernet on the xbox, however to rule this completely try and get hold of another Hub or similar.

EA 3500 dropping wired connection when online gaming
I just had Comcast setup my internet and it is really fast. 30 down, 10 up, 40 ping, my connection to my computer (wireless) is very fast and my online gaming (wired) is not laggy at all.
The problem lies with the connection dropping when I am online gaming. I connected directly to the modem and there's no problem at all. I connect to my Linksys EA3500 and once I start playing in an online game, I disconnect from Xbox Live and am dropped from the game... anywhere from right away until about 10-15 minutes into the game. This is the only time where my connection falters at all, otherwise it is great. But I play online a lot, and competitively, so I obviously need a stable connection.
I have not had this issue with my previous ISP in New York, Time Warner and that connection was much worse. I'm thinking it must be a setting on the router that is causing this, but I can't pinpoint what. I tried automatic AND static connections from my xbox to the router. On the static connection, I even put a DMZ on it, but to no avail. What is causing this hiccup in the connection?
Any suggestions would be great, please and thanks!!Are you already using the Linksys Smart Wifi? Set up media prioritization in the router and see if that will improve the connection with the xbox. Is the connection intermittent with other devices? Is there like a specific time in the day where your connection will drop?

Note: This is my first time posting on Verizon Forums, so expect me to be noobish @ this.I apologize for any grammer mistakes, English isn't my primary language. Before making this post, i did search up "Latency" and i found about 6 other threads with the same issue and around the same time i found out about my terrible lag.
~The TRACEROUTES AND PATHPINGS ARE FROM A HARDWIRED CONNECTION~

I have been playing online gaming for about 5years. I have been playing World of Warcraft(MMORPG) for about 4years. My DL speed is:56 and UL speed is:35. World of Warcraft has a built in meter that tells the latency at home and world(MS). Somwhere around June 2013 my latency in game has spiked up from the normal # of 15-20 to 40-500. Through Verizon's POV this latency might seem normal. However, playing with lag everytime I play, makes me angry. After contacting Verizon about 6x i have given up hope for my issue to be solved. The lag affects and limits the things i can do when playing the game. My connection is fine for everything else. It just happens to be World of Warcraft where the issues come in. I have done multiple Pathpings and Traceroutes to identify the issue.Aside, I have done multiple troubleshooting steps for both Verizon and Blizzard. After contacting Blizzard technicians, they have told me that the issue is through verizon's end. When i contact verizon , i get the same story over and over again. " There is nothing we can do!" I have actually talked to very unprofessional verizon representatives and have considered swapping ISP. However, let us be realistic-> Verizon is the best and no other company offers the same DL + UL. I have also considered uprgading to the 75/35 because Xbox One/PS4 is around the corner and adding another device that uses internet will be the ideal thing to do. I can't imagine if I will have these latency issues on my Xbox One.
Enough of the chat, i will link couple trace routes and path pings.

I had a pathping from June, can't find it anywhere..
Thank you ahead of time! I hope my issue is fixed because i can't stand it anymore.You don't understand how irritated I am. Everytime i log ingame i start a normal "ms". I step into an arena game, my latency spikes up making my character run in place for about 4-6 seconds. I decided to keep it cool and expected it to eventually fix itself. Its been 5 months now, and the problem persists. I hope they fix this issue!

Hello
I am relativly new to infinity and was wondering if anyone could tell me why its so bad for online gaming?
My download speeds are virtually always 37.5mb download and between 8 - 9mb upload although upload drops sometmimes to slightly lower
http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/results.php?t=1333920063&v=15486878
http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/results.php?t=1333920583&v=15486955
however i always get loads of lag when playing on xbox live, to the point it is not worth playing, it gets worse than when I was on normal copper wire broadband.
I have also noticed that there is quite a delay before web pages open when browsing the internet in general, my ping used to be pretty consistent at around 17 - 20ms before I switched to infininty but now seems to jump around lot even going as high as 300ms on occasion.
my line profile seems to have set at 38.10mb which I am happy with, and the engineer who installed my infinity said that my line stats were excellent.
all this said then why do i seem to be suffering when using xbox live??Hi Cameron
No I have been trying it with the wireless disabled, although on our old connection this wasnt an issues, myself and my son could both use our xboxs together on the one connection and still it was better than at presen
I didnt have the cable in the gigabyte port, I have now though, what does this port do?
Yes port forwarding set to xbox live -
4G online gaming doesnt work why? i need someone who actually cares to help me plse!!!
my modem is Pantech UML290 .i notice cannot play any online games...my old 3g modem works perfectly with the same games but this new service as far as online games or this modem apparently has issues...i have had nothing but problems, high ping rates and packet loss as well as jitter and no one with the exception of 1 service tech apparently cares...they only care that you can connect and brows web to a degree....i have spoke to 8 techs only one cares and states their is a problem....i have tested this on speedtest.com upload and download speed is fast remarkably fast but inconsistant, the ping is terible and jitter and packet loss is even worse...i am going to try to replace the modem as last form of troubleshoooting, if that doesnt work then 4g can go in the trash until they resolve the problem....they advertise online gameing and video streaming for 4g...i cannot do online gaming will not even connect to game host due to high pings and data loss...and yet the new service wich is supposed to be much better and support online gaming doesnt work and my 3g device works without a problem, can play games all day long without i hitch and no one from tech can explain why....sounds like a problem..i have spoke with several people on forums they have all said the same thing....release tech and dontr know how to fix the problems....the response you will get is all we care about is that you can connect and view the web!!! wow so when i buy a car i guess all they care about is the car moves, they dont care if the ac worrks or anything else does to...thats the way its been explained to me time and time again...except for 1 tech... the games that i have tried to play is BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2, CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2 , STARCRAFT 2, noNE will work, note been playing with old 3g device and service for over a yr with no problems!! SOMEONE PLSE HELP!!!
I live out in the country and have no high speed internet so i bought the pantech UML290 and I have been able to play on the 4g network right out of the box. Plugin, install, and go. I Play Bad Company2 and my ping is usually 142. I connect to a chicago server from okc and my gameplay has improved so much more. I get 2 to 3 bars in my house and it flys on web pages. I had the at@t lightning 3g and my pings on the same server were 185 but spiked up to 999 and back down to 180's . I love this UML290 and do not have Idea why you are having problems. I would return the uml and get another one. You might make sure the other communication software is uninstalled and worst case scenario, reformat the hard drive and start with a fresh install. Can you give a description of your computer specs ? Is this going through a cradlepoint router ? I would be happy to try to help, I know how much it sucks have a laggy gaming experience.

PANTECH UML290 DOESNT WORK FOR ONLINE GAMING PLSE HELP!!!
my modem is Pantech UML290 .i notice cannot play any online games...my old 3g modem works perfectly with the same games but this new service as far as online games or this modem apparently has issues...i have had nothing but problems, high ping rates and packet loss as well as jitter and no one with the exception of 1 service tech apparently cares TECH DID A PING TEST AT ADRESS ping -a 66.174.92.14 result were request timed out 4 times, packets sent=4 packets recieved=0 pakets loss = 4 , total= 100% loss, funny thing is i was still connected to internet and if you ping google.com 0 paket loss... apparently consistancy or server recognition might be a problem i dont know...maybe modem is bad...either way i cannot play any online games what so ever, when tested at speed test.com and pingtest.com states high ping and high jitter as well as packet loss, no one seems to have an answer for this note!! on old 3g device i had played these same online games without any problems...so this 4g modem and service advertises online gaming and steady streaming and i cannot do neither why??? someone plse help!!! also if you look under vz access manager statistics tab, you will see transfer and recieve rates like a heart beat monitor....it consistantly goes up and down like a heart beat instead of a steady flow, goes up as high as 10mbs then drops for a while to 0kbs and stays their for a lil bit...it apparently is loosing communications....old 3g device was a steady transfer flow rate that never dropped to 0 unless i wasnt doing anything...so why is this as well?
have'nt had any phone call's today regarding the slow down of my BT infinity broadband line.. in the last 3 hours have been online on both the PS3 & the XBOX and the problem is still there... im host in every online game i play but each game is almost unplayable every time..the actual game i play as host on the PS3 runs really slow (only as host) and looking left/right has a blurry feel to it.. on the XBOX its running slightly quicker but still nowhere like it does on both consoles when im not hosting.. when ever everybody else hosts a game that i join,after speaking to them they have had no problem what so ever.. most seem to be on a cable ISP but the speed stats are very simular to mine.. just the hosting is totally different for me...???
http://speedtest.net/result/1586999761.png
http://www.pingtest.net/result/50309878.png
just tested my speed with the above score... i still cant work out why my line is being slowed down ....
just reiterate that my g/f works from home mon-fri 8am-5pm on a live server including emails etc... the live server would involve being logged on all day checking accounts including various stock levels etc.. so she is very busy pretty much every day..
im online with my PS3/XBOX prob a couple of nights a week plus as i do shift work,on my days off i play COD most of them days .. so prob around 40/50 hours a week playing online depending..
i chose option 2 BT Infinty unlimited because i new i needed a very good line with all mine and my g/fs needs.. -
WRT54G - Online Gaming Problem
I have been trying for almost a year trying to get online gaming to work with my router. I've been trying to play Age of Empires 2. I've done about anything and everything to get myself about play. I know it's my router as when I connect my computer directly to the modem, it works and I'm able to play online. I can never see the room when I use my router. My router is a WRT54G v2.2. It's been upgraded to the latest firmware which is one of the things I tried with no luck. I have tried port forwarding, but it didn't work. I followed this website exactly and tried it more than once: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Age_of_Empires_II.htm But no luck... I also even tried to enable DMZ, but no luck either. I tried Hamachi too. We're able to connect and all, but nothing either. I don't know what's wrong, but if anyone can help, I will appreciate it greatly. However, maybe I did something wrong with port forwarding. You never know, but most likely not. Still...

Low ping yet online gaming performs poorly
This has always been an issue with my BT ADSL connection. On paper it looks perfect for gaming; a solid ~23ms ping to UK servers (FastPath) with practically no jitter, a constant 4.5/0.25 mbps throughput yet online gaming (Xbox Live) shows way more lag than the ping figures would suggest, it's pretty poor.
Any suggestions as to why this could be? It's as if either my hardware (HomeHub4) or BTs network has a very low priority for gaming traffic (I game mainly during peak hours, as do most people I expect)
I'm currently testing a non BT router to see if the issue lies with the Home Hub. It's definitely looking better so far gaming wise (will need to test more though) but actual web browsing is noticeably slower with the same speedtest/ping results!?
All other hardware is removed from the network, cable to the Xbox has been swapped. Gaming performance is my primary concern and the BT connection is almost putting a stop my enjoyment of online play.
My exhange is Infinitiy enabled but my cabinet not and seemingly no way to find out when it will be.The current BT homehub which is Homehub3 is a very poor router in my opinion but I dont have any issues with online gaming when my connection works correctly.
Can you go to http://speedtester.bt.com/ and do a speed test
Also go http://192.168.1.254
then go to settings, advanced, broadband then connection and copy and paste the ADSL connection information here. -
Probs with online gaming due to subnet or IP addresses
When I first hooked up my router I had probs with Network Magic connections.
Now that I have it running better... I seem to be having a problem when gaming
online.
My boyfriend and I have hooked up our pc's together and have tried gaming online
together... and it worked for a couple of days. But with having some D-Link router
probs... we reconnected everything.
Now I recall seeing two different subnet numbers for each of us before we redid
the D-Link... now they are the same...
So I am wondering if this problem is router related or does it lie with Network
Magic? All I know is... that when I try to get on a multiplayer gaming server
I get kicked by Punkbuster saying: 'PB GUID AUTH: UNKNOWN'.
I think our online gaming predictament is due to my boyfriend and my subnet
numbers now being the same. (unlike before).
(If my prob does not relate to my router and Network Magic... than I thought
of putting in a Punkbuster Ticket to evenbalance.com)
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. : )
Note: my firewall is configed to allow online gaming, so I know that's not the

I am having major ping issues with online gaming even playing on UK based servers it is jumpering constantly to the 700's range. I rang a pingtest.net and even that is showing a rating of D and saying that online gaming won't work. I download at between 600-900KB/s a second normally but online gaming is impossible atm.
Is there anything I can do?it's not the servers as they are european based and everyone else has pings <200 so it is defiantly an issue with my connection as opposed to server side.
I've tried a tracert on bbc.co.uk and this looks way to high:

Router problems with online gaming
Hi,
I have problems with online gaming. My router is Linksys wrt54g2 and modem is ZTE ZXDSL 831AII and with two computers. I can't play any onlines game for example Counter-Strike 1.6 or Counter-Strike: Source. When I'm trying to connect in those games servers when it loads too bars I'm geting error that says: "Connection failed after 4 retries". Also I can't play StrongHold, Combat Arms and Battlefield2. I try to bypassing my router by connecting computer directly to my modem and games works. What I should do? Please help me.Do you have problems with web browsing or other online applications? If not, the problem may lie with the games themselves. It's possible the games require ports to be forwarded to work correctly. Check the game documentation and see if this is the case.

Online Gaming causes WIFI to be slow for Wife!
We have the Apple Airport, wired directly to my PS4, and she is connected via WIFI on an iMac downstairs. Whenever I'm not gaming online, the wifi speeds are perfectly fine. But when I log in, it seems that it drains every last MB for my console... however we have a 100mb download. Most often the page won't even load for her.
Is there a setting I have on my router that will allow me to set her iMac up with a Static IP that will allow it to take of the of the bandwidth? ... or something like that?
(I do have ports open on the router for NAT on my console)
Thanks in advance!I would agree with this but I have never had this issue before. I got this Airport a few months ago and it seems like the issue is coming from the router.
The issue with online gaming with a router is that its not the "best case" scenario.. and I would prefer to have a direct connection. Also, the internet is ran to the house and is only available for the router to plug in upstairs.
Thanks for your response though!
