use an ethernet cable
My Wi-Fi isn’t close enough for me to plug it in through Ethernet
Mbps and MBps are different
What is the difference
Bytes vs bits
I’m talking about the one for Wi-Fi
Are u sure?
This yes
But then why are my games lagging a lot
Bad ping
Yeah 200 ping
Probably to far away
Are you on 2.4ghz? Or 5?
5
go on 2.4
Wifi is sound and your router is a speaker. Same floor or not, if there's walls/objects/obstacles in the way, your connection is gonna suffer
2.4 can help as it penetrates walls better & reaches longer distances, similar to how low-end bass will reach farther than crisp treble sounds
Xbox test is shit
I'm in australia with fibre and wired but it still shows 200ms ping, it uses US servers (or some other far away region).
The download and upload speeds also arent consistent, wouldn't worry about it at all.
Run a speedtest.net in Microsoft Edge and I guarantee it'll be better.
Lowercase "b" so bits in this case.
Also wouldn't hurt to improve your signal strength.
As others have said, an ethernet cable will help, look into MoCa or Ethernet over Power if you can't run a cable.
In the actual game download menu it uses bytes lol
For size and throughout
That’s why I thought it was bytes
Atleast it used to the last time I touched an Xbox
game downloads are in bits as well, have been for the past 5 years I've had an Xbox One at least.
My solution was to put a EoP (Ethernet over Power) 1gigabit into the same room as the consoles, this is connected via ethernet to my router and then from the other end to the console.
Alternatively figure out if Wifi Router Supports mesh networking and grab a compatible fast device.
May also help if you own the home, to run yourself a nice little ethernet cable from said modem/router too a meshable Wifi Router in the location of the consoles/ other entertainment devices.
This will give you a fixed ethernet link between the two devices and full Wifi strength as well as still acting as a meshed wifi device best of all worlds in that scenario.
