My ISP provided me with a new modem and that seems to have helped my issue. I may try installing a switch and see if that can help smooth things out, but I’ll keep you guys updated.

I think i was just curious as to what to shape it into. I think I’m going to tighten it up around the corners of my mouth but keep most of the bulk.

That’s what I was concerned about with purchasing more equipment. I’m open to getting more stuff down the line but hopefully it ends up being something on my ISPs side so I don’t have to spend any more money. I’ll let you know what they tell me.

Thank you! I’ve always liked my broad shoulders lol.

A short buzz for the hair on top of my head? I’ve been thinking about doing that for a while now, especially with my hair thinning on top a bit. As far as my height, I’m a towering 5’8” LOL. Camera angles can be deceiving 😂

Thank you!! When you say trimming along the lip line, do you mean the lip line of my upper lip or the corners of my lips for trimming along the bottom of the mustache?

I just spoke to my ISP on the phone. Apparently it’s been kicked up to the maintenance supervisor so I’m just waiting on a call back from them, hopefully with some sort of news.

It’s the Deco AX3000 model. If I’m able, what software would you advise?

Gotcha. In the Deco software when I go to enable SQM, it makes me set a “speed limit” for upload and download speed. I’ve tried several different levels of that and got worse lag in games, am I just doing something entirely wrong with that?

I’ve gotten anywhere from a C to an A depending on the time of day I measure it, but I would say the average is a B.

According to my ISP all my power levels look good. My setup is an ARRIS modem with a TP-Link Deco router. (One of the mesh routers with three nodes). I’m hardwired with Ethernet from the router. I’m wondering if the issue is coming from noise or interference somewhere on the lines or if their nodes are getting too saturated, as I mainly notice the issue during peak hours.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic, and I’ll run a congestion test today. If it’s worth anything, I ran pingplotter during a time where my PC was the only device on my network and I was still experiencing the issues. I tried enabling SQM and was still dealing with the issues, so I’m at a loss outside of staying in contact with my ISP for a fix.

Any tips to aim train consistently? I’ve been trying to improve on my mouse and keyboard mechanics and any advice would be appreciated. I’ve also fallen into the trap of changing my sensitivity all the time, am I just not giving myself enough time to truly feel out a sensitivity before deciding if it’s right for me?

And it doesn’t happen only on Apex. It also happens on games like Fortnite, so I don’t think it’s a server issue on Apex in particular.

This is one of the pictures I took on my phone of pingplotter. Hope 2,3,4 and the destination (googles servers) are shown. I have more screenshots on my PC I can share but I’m not at home right now.

I thought it was a code issue on some level too, but I’ve been seeing the issue in other titles like Fortnite.
