    Weird Latency Issue with Great Equipment


    PROBLEM:

    I have Motorola MB8600 modem and a Netgear R6900 modem, both brand new with xfinity service. It's weird, my computer, which is connected wirelessly to the router only has a 13-15ms latency tested on speedtest.net; but my xbox360, connected by a short CAT6
    is showing a consistent 88-93ms latency when tested on the xbox itself. This latency is too high for me, and I do notice it in-game.



    TROUBLESHOOTING:

    - I upgraded the router firmware. No change in latency.

    - I gave the XBOX it's own IP through the router and set up a DMZ. No change in latency.

    - To see if the router is the issue, I tried plugging the xbox directly into the modem and powercycling, but xbox cannot connect to internet that way unless I'm doing something wrong. I do know that Comcast partitioned the modem, so perhaps that's why I
    can't connect xbox directly to it?

    - I tried changing the router port the xbox is connected to (and powercycling). No change in latency.

    - I tried connecting the xbox wirelessly to the router, and as expected latency went UP.



    At this point, I'm baffled. I don't know whether the issue is the modem, the router, or the xbox360 servers. Why is latency higher on my hard-wired XBOX than on my wirelessly connected laptop? Thanks for your help.

    :)

    Do best settings only play with best?

    ^^Kinda, I mean matchmaking is NOT "regional" in BO2 (it was in MW3) its now latency and ping, with a very small amount of other things after the first big two (latency and ping) but in theory your "region" or people close to you should give you the best
    latency and ping, dunno. I have had some great 4bar games with people across the whole US and Canada all partied up together and that just never happened in MW3, weird.

    This is an issue with your router and not your ISP. The first thing you should do is make sure that your Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band WNDR3400 Router is up-to-date with the latest version of firmware. Visit Netgear webpage and download the updated software.

    Keep us posted!

    Weird possible latency issues

    I understand that directly connecting anything to the modem will typically decrease latency, and I know that bridging the console via laptop will increase latency, I was testing to see if there was an issue with the cables or something.

    I directly connected my laptop to the router, and I pinged a server approximately 700 miles away and got about 36 ms with low jitter. I think I can reasonably assume that directly connecting to the modem will have a minimal effect in latency.

    What do you mean by –f –l 1364 epix.xbox.com? Do you want me to ping epix.xbox.com in cmd?

    I just pinged epix.xbox.com in cmd three times and I got request timed out.

    Hey there MERCENARIES!

    Appreciate if you can post up the make and model of your modem and router.
