Is anyone else’s connection for Blitz just ridiculously bad lately? Cuz I’m bout to go buy a new router or something. Something has to change. Or is it the servers themselves that are unstable? I’d like to be sure. Ping bouncing all over the place. Game crashing during loading a few times. I’m getting messages about unstable conditions because graphics settings are too high for my device, but I’m ona brand new gaming laptop so that’s [edited]. Lowered them anyway just to see if it helped, and no. I actually got the same message later in the day.
So my I look to my router. It is 3 years old and it’s an 802.11n type instead of the newer faster 802.11ac. It is dualband but I can’t seem to access the 5GHz band, only the 2.4GHz.
I tried using an Ethernet cable but it wasn’t much better at all. Do the router’s speed capabilities even come into play with an Ethernet cable or is that only for WiFi and essentially bypassed at that point? I did a quick google search but didn’t see a straight answer and I don’t have time to slog through pages of how it works internet connection info right now. Any help would be appreciated.
Should I upgrade or is that a waste because something else is actually the problem?
