GAMING INTERNET SPEED TIPS

 

What’s better for internet gaming speed, ethernet or WiFi? What’s ‘Game Mode’? Find out how you can improve your gaming WiFi! Enhance your gaming connection with these comprehensive gaming WiFi tips for a seamless and immersive gaming experience. We look at geo-filtering and how our WiFi enhancer can help prioritise your gaming internet speeds, eliminating lags and ensuring uninterrupted gameplay. Elevate your gaming setup to the next level, ensuring you stay ahead of the competition and enjoy a smooth gaming journey.

CONNECT WITH ETHERNET

 

The first bit of advice we can give you, is if you have the option to get off the WiFi. WiFi connections are getting faster and more reliable all the time but one way to cut out any potential lag is connecting directly to your EE Hub with an ethernet cable, you won’t catch a pro doing it any other way.

PRIORITISE YOUR GAMING CONNECTION

 

Sign up to WiFi enhancer and enable something called Game Mode, this analyses your ping and prioritises your gaming connection over all other traffic in your home. Other devices can still stream and they’ll hardly notice any change but your millisecond response times will be improved. It’s like an Alton Tower’s fast pass for gaming connections. It prioritises all your console and PC gaming traffic through the router, meaning you’ll very much benefit from it.

GEO-FILTERING

 

Another feature of Game Mode is geo-filtering, this just lets you set a zone of what servers you want to connect to. Closer ones being more likely to offer you a faster connection, you can add or deny servers so you can consistently connect to the best ones.
