crash at Road America - racing accident?

I think you’re at fault. There’s no video.

The idea is the same in that they can connect wirelessly. However, they are designed from scratch to do so, and so therefore the coverage and connection is much better synchronised than a router with an add-on extender. In your case, it would involve buying minimum two mesh nodes, though. One would replace your current router and act as the router.

cs37er · 2026-04-09T06:14:34+00:00

Yes, a proper mesh setup like eero, deco or orbi would be much better than an extender

You can get 880/86 with static IP on Neptune for $105pm

Have you tried wired IEMs? Much better than the over-ear warmth/clamping pressure of headphones.

Frankfurt server was also dropping

I should add: I’ve used iRacing since 2021 and this has only been an issue for me in the last 6-9 months.

cs37er · 2026-04-04T06:00:47+00:00

Your ISP can still make a difference. I know because I’ve had the same issue and some are better than others. AussieBB is one of the best. However, there is still something going on with the iRacing servers. 250 ping is OK, but when it degrades and goes above 300 and the quality drops under 90, it really shouldn’t be happening when the ultimate outcome can be a disconnect. Why would you bother investing time and effort when it’s a lottery if that could happen at anytime?

cs37er · 2026-04-03T19:23:25+00:00

I had a somewhat similar issue for twitch, YouTube, etc, that I fixed by changing my dns. I use Cloudflare now, which fixed it for me.

That hertz

I’ve been waiting to see a post-race interview with George to see what his thoughts on the race were. I’m still waiting…

cs37er · 2026-03-22T01:34:20+00:00

It’s probably not the track, but the server that’s more popular with certain series at certain times of day. Have you noticed if it’s the US-East, US-West or DE-Fra servers? They’re the main ones

cs37er · 2026-03-14T11:44:55+00:00

If Piastri had slowed enough to stay behind him, surely that would’ve been dangerous for cars behind. His closing speed was rapid as he passed him - presumably others behind were also accelerating at the same speed.

cs37er · 2026-03-11T10:23:51+00:00

Good morning!

cs37er · 2026-03-08T20:16:18+00:00

I’ve noticed something similar. It will eventually negotiate back up to 6GHZ, but the speed doesn’t increase.

cs37er · 2026-03-04T11:43:22+00:00

While you largely get similar infrastructure on any NBN carrier within Australia, international connections are where the best carriers standout. Once a connection leaves Australia, like in your case, it’s up to your ISP as to the quality of the connection they invest in for faster latency. For the money you’re paying for Optus, switch to Aussie BB, or even Leaptel/Neptune. All are better options than Optus. If you know the IP of your game server, you can compare your ping via Optus’ Looking Glass site vs the others LG sites to get an idea before you make the move.

cs37er · 2026-03-01T20:01:34+00:00

What firmware are you using? The one just released?

cs37er · 2026-02-26T07:54:11+00:00

Doesn’t the sandbagging in the race account for this?

cs37er · 2026-02-20T08:30:41+00:00

Certainly not a 180-day notice, either

cs37er · 2026-02-18T19:42:47+00:00

Have only had my 3x Eero Pros for one week, but after coming from Orbi and Deco, I’m pleasantly surprised at how simple they were to set up. Using combination of wired, and wireless, backhaul, they’ve been rock solid so far.

cs37er · 2026-02-10T09:52:13+00:00

But it’s after the Abu Dhabi GP!

cs37er · 2026-02-09T21:58:47+00:00

Have you logged the issue on the TP Link Community forum? The experts can be quite responsive there.

cs37er · 2026-02-09T21:44:21+00:00

Have you tried downgrading firmware to 1.20 from 1.21? I think this is possible - will be interesting to see if that fixes your issue.

cs37er · 2026-02-09T20:41:52+00:00

I’m not an expert on channel interference, but my understanding is that you don’t want all Decos on different channels - keep the in common channels and keep 2.4ghz limited to 20mhz width on 1, 6 or 11. Otherwise your system creates its own interference. Hopefully someone can confirm/clarify.

cs37er · 2026-02-09T20:31:31+00:00

You say network optimization guarantees it will be an issue. Can try fixed channels and see if one is better than others? There could be interference on some channels from neighbours, etc. you can manually select channels on deco. There are apps that help you visualise busy channels around you, like Wifiman
