Need Help with Internet Lag During Gaming and Calls
Asked by
CuriousSeagull29
I'm having major issues with my internet despite having solid speeds. I use an Archer TXE70UH USB adapter, and I've tried everything else, including an Ethernet from an extender. My speeds are good—328.16 Mbps download, 142.98 Mbps upload, and a ping that usually ranges from 10 to 45 ms. But when I play games or join Discord calls, I experience terrible lag. My friends joke that I sound like a robot during calls. I'm not sure what to do to fix this, so I'm looking for any suggestions!

You might want to try changing the server location for your speed tests. It can give you a better idea of how your connection performs over longer distances. I suggest choosing a server that's a bit further away to see if there’s a difference.

Hey! Have you checked your ping in Discord while on a call? Sometimes it can reveal latency issues. Just curious to see if the ping spikes when you're talking or gaming.
CuriousSeagull29: I don't usually see anything odd, but once in a while my ping jumps to 9999. It's pretty weird!

CuriousSeagull29: I did test a server from a city about an hour away, but the results were pretty similar. Still laggy.
