    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Pleased to say the CAT7 solved the problem on that PS4 and now its rock solid stable. Anyone know where I can buy the corner D line type trunking to sit in the corner of the room to hide this cable? Can't seem to find it at a reasonable price.

    I paid £28 for it on offer from banggood (chinese website) with free delivery. Without the HDD, but I picked up a WD purple cctv HDD for £20 on ebay. Bought it a year ago. To be fair, its a pretty decent image for what it is. Very good at night too.

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    I used to use the downstairs PS4 via wifi for years without bother. Only opted to use LAN in the last 6 months as it now sits very close to the router. Heres my CCTV setup: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07411Z3XN/?tag=smallncom-21 Nothing special.

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    No worries. Lets see what happens in the coming days using the LAN cable. If no glitch I will install it. properly. What I can do as well, just out of pure curiosity, I could install the PS4 downstairs into my sons room and connect via wifi to see what happens with that one (i think you...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Could you explain a little more? 1. Why does the PS4 downstairs work perfectly? 2. Why does the CCTV work perfectly (even remote access) I am on virgin media using a HUB3 and a ASUS AC86U. I am not using IPTV service with virgin or sky. I am streaming content with other services unrelated to...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Ok guys, superb advice here. CAT7 arrived today from amazon, opted for a £13.99 one instead as had excellent reviews. I've fitted it temporarily into the router in bedroom 1 and fed it into bedroom 2 and my son has been playing the PS4 without a single glitch today. This looks promising. Im...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    The ps4's in question use a figure of 8 power lead only. No adapters. I saw this mentioned when googling, haven't tried it yet though. Interesting, but the PS4 downstairs is NAT 2 with zero issues on fortnite. The internet is definitely worse on fortnite as it lags like mad, often kicks you...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    So my son would be playing fortnite for example, it would lag and then freeze up, so he can't move around, he can only look around on the spot for a few mins. It would then kick him out of the game to the home menu and a message would come up saying something about check internet... Lost...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Right, son is playing the PS4 and he's lagging and getting disconnected within 5 minutes. Witnessed it myself this time as am hanging around to see if any problems arise. Arghhh!!! Im beginning to think the PS4 is faulty. I guess I could buy a 25M lan cable and lay it across the house before...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Thanks. So this is what i've done. I've removed the old 10/100 switch and put the N66U in its place, hardwired to the AC86U which is 5M away. The N66U is in AP mode (please advise if that causes any problems when connected to a PS4) and i've connected my CCTV and other lan cables to the N66U...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Right, change of plan. I now plan to run a 20M cat7 cable from bedroom 1 where a 10/100 switch is to bedroom 2 where the ps4 is. I will need to buy some D 1/4 corner trunking so I can hide the cable when it runs down the corner of the walls. I will also get rid of the 10/100 switch as its too...

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    You're right. I had this setup in media mode and I had the same intermittent disconnection/lagging problems. So you suggest in repeater mode, 66U near PS4 and wired to the PS4? Any settings in either of the routers? I hear people keep mentioning DMZ.

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    I have tried but same problem. I was told the N66U in repeater mode should be placed in between the PS4 and the AC86U. The only place I can put the N66U is 2ft further away from the AC86U compared to the PS4. I was also told I'd lose something else, but forgot what now.

    Who can help me figure out my PS4 disconnections and lag?

    Have a AC86U and the PS4 upstairs often lags or disconnects completely via wifi. My son is very upset as he keeps losing points on games, he's pretty good at some games and plays in tournaments. No other device in the entire house does this, even when playing games on tablets right next to this...

    Help accessing N66U ?

    We're all up and running now. I live in a small 2 bedroom terraced house. The 86U is downstairs at the front of the house. My sons PS4 is upstairs at the back of the house. So the N66U i used as a bridge was actually placed next to his PS4 but 1 foot further away from the main 86U than his PS4...
