Latency problems


[link to this post]
 
Hi, I've just changed to TalkTalk broadband yesterday, and the first thing that I found odd was how high my latency was for World of Warcraft.

It starts at around 30ms then shoots up to 500+, normally settling at 1000ms. Which is, quite obviously, unplayable.

Originally I thought it was just TalkTalk's fault, however I changed to my faithful old Speedtouch 330 wired modem, and everything was fine! So I guess it is something wrong with my router...

So I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to tweak my wireless router, so I can have low latency again XD.

I've already tried tweaking the MTU using DoctorTCP (I think).

I'm on LLU if that helps, using a phone extension and a Huawei EchoLife HG520s wireless router. Here are some specs, not sure if they are important or not, but they might be helpful.

Data Path Interleaved
Operation Mode ADSL2+
Bandwidth Down/Up(kbps) 8008 / 443
SNR Margin Down/Up(dB) 14.7 / 26.2
Attenuation Down/Up(dB) 28.0 / 15.8
Power Down/Up(dBm) 0.0 / 12.3
CRC Down/Up 10 / 65483
FEC Down/Up 6860 / 65301
HEC Down/Up 111 / 0

Thanks beforehand

(I have also posted this in the TalkTalk forum as I'm not too sure which section is should be in)

WinMTR or Pingplotter will show where the delays occur over time.

You could fix the wireless client device speed at say 18M in case it is hopping around changing speeds.

what do you have at your end ie not the router.

Or can the router be set to a fixed wireless speed.
