Hi,
First post on SNB, and thanks in advance for all the help. =)
Most of my connection at home are through 2.4ghz wireless, so there are many devices connected on my router ~20, but mostly are on standby.
Brief story:
Before:
With my previous dsl provider (12/1mbps connection) and running (stock 1.0.1.8m), downloading anything or streaming youtube or surfing the web never affected my latency; however, if anyone in the house were to upload, the internet would lockup and be unable to use.
After: (pinging 8.8.8.8 and www.ucla.edu) and (speedtest sonic.net)
With my current cable provider (50/10mbps connection) and running Padavan -0.55full), uploading at 500KB had minimal affect on my latency, perhaps only raising from 23-30ms to 35-50ms if i top off at 1MB upload) which is pretty awesome.
However, this is the problem i can not figure out, whenever someone using the internet to startup a youtube video or whenever i do a speedtest for the download part, my latency would boost tremendously. The latency would rise from 25ms to a range of 200-3000ms and until the router locks up.
I have double check my latency is stable when i ping at the same time of the speedtest through ssh and the same on my iphone device using 5ghz band (perhaps a minimal afffect).
TL
R - There is a problem with my 2.4ghz wireless band and i have tried switching channels, width, beacon interval, offload nat on and off, frag & rts threshold, preamble level, and whatever i can think of. What is wrong!!!???
Is it because the router is unable to handle a 50mbps connection on the 2.4 band?
PS...
I do notice the affect on the latency from download seems to be greater when there are more wireless clients. For example, when at night and I'm the only person on the wireless, doing a speedtest would boost my latency from 25ms to 100-200; however, when there are an extra 5-8 people on the wireless at the same time and on youtube or downloading at max speed, my latency can rise to 1500ms - 3000ms until it times out.
Please let me know if there are any additional information needed.
Thank you so much!
Sorry if there are grammatical errors.
