[Abdelinho]

Hi, first my english sucks very much so dont expect an expert here just a little crazy networker scientist here.!

I read a lot and i learn so much woth you guys, but now i move out to another home (more bigger) so i install 2 router, and 2 switch. And here is come my nightmare:

Primordial i want connect: 2 laptops and 2 ps4 with Nat 1 (no shirt problems port restrictions) and this is how i do:

Modem > switch 1> router 1(nighthawk)>laptop 1 and whateva
> switch 2 > router 2 (dlink gaming router) > pc
> ps4 1 (nat 1! Yeyy!)
> ps4 2(nat 1! Too!!)

So this is my little red here, actually is work it out pritty well but sometimes give me lags problems, what you guys recommend me??

C ya.

Added switch versus switch built into WiFi routers: no difference, except if PCs are gigabit ethernet and the router LAN ports are not. But the delay for gaming won't make any difference.

If the game server is on the internet, the delays are your ISP's link to your home and more so, the internet delays to the game server, and more so yet, the delays in a busy server.
