Latency

Hard wired, cat 8 cable. Latency is around 30ms. Wireless test gets 14ms. What's going on? When I was with Virgin a couple of years ago on old type of hub I was getting 18ms. How can I fix this. Brand new cable. Tried various DNS. Any clues?

Re: Latency

Thanks for the link. All comes back with lower latency than I can get on my Xbox X console through hard wired ethernet cable, why's that?

Re: Latency

Xbox X console latency stats will depend on where in the world the target server is located, with more distance comes greater the latency.

Re: Latency

Yes, I understand the server situation, I change the DNS several times. To date the best is 26ms hard wired, while wireless it is either the same or lower!

Re: Latency

Yes, the issue is having done various test for latency through WiFi to the hub. The hub reads 14ms on WiFi but when hard wired the best to date is 26ms on Xbox X console on cat 8 ethernet cable, how is this, surely I should be getting the same or less. I have tried various DNS all with the same results. Am I expecting to much?

Re: Latency

Unless there is some trickery on newer hubs or maybe your console that delays packets for Ethernet we don't know.

what you get on PC?
