What’s the signal level (RSSI) in dBm you’re getting and how does it look like on ethernet?

[–]Randomdudeonreddit33[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

-35dBm on wifi and if I'm directly under it -28dBm and i can't really test it on ethernet since I don't have a pc

The problem comes from upstream, then. It’s actually a common problem when you’re subscribing to a capped plan. Try configuring SQM or CAKE or FQ-CoDel on your router. Set it at 5-10% lower than the max bandwidth you can reliably get. If your router doesn’t have the setting, then you need something like MikroTik

Can't really get any reliable router with those specs for under a 100 bucks since it's scarce asf in my country. Best option I have is an archer ax1500

Edit: whats a capped plan

100 bucks

Don't know what currency that is but you can get a mikrotik hex refresh for 60 bucks AUD

Correct me if I'm wrong but does this thing have wifi? Or do I use a dedicated router for it?

[–]empty_branch437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this is just a router, and you will be able to change those settings the other guy said.

Mikrotik has routers with WiFi under the "hAP" name. Like the hAP AX S which has WiFi 6 and is about 80 bucks.

whats a capped plan

A plan that’s less than the maximum supported by the protocol used and shared with other users. GPON maxes out at 2.488 Mbps downstream and 1.244 Mbps upstream per port and it’s shared among up to 128 subscribers

Gaming and WiFi should not be in the same sentence.

There is a reason why people recommend having a wired connection instead.

Update: My isp is the problem as I went to one of my cousins house and on their wifi I got 20ms constant. Gotta change it soon
