How to deal with lag in online games? My internet service is 10 mbps(third world country, I know) and, while it works fine most of the time, I can't play any online games while someone else in the house is watching youtube/netflix/anything else that takes a lot of bandwidth.

Is there anything I can do about it? A friend told me about doing QoS changes on my router, would that be a good idea?

Tell him to fuck off while you are playing you gaems or buy a separate line for yourself.

Going to be getting a new router and modem. For router was thinking the Netgear Nighthawk AC2300 or the AC2600.

What's a good modem? I really don't know much about this stuff. I see that Amazon recommends the CM500 or CM700. Thoughts?

Sorry if I sound like a retard, just want opinions before purchasing

QoS will fix it, you've got bufferbloat which is affecting your latency when playing video games.

If your router doesn't have QoS and you own the router (not ISP provided), then you can flash it with aftermarket software that will give you full control over it.

Put a password in your network.

Doesn't matter how good your router is, you can't pull more than 10mbps from the wall.

What you're trying to do is the internet equivalent of trying to pull 12 gallons of water per minute from a pipe that can only produce 10 gallons of water per minute (presuming only one device is trying to access Netflix). Without paying for more mb/sec I can't see how fiddling with your router is gonna help.

Honestly, unless you're getting a shit ton of bandwidth, any old gigabit router will work for you. I'd recommend the TP Link Archer C7. Pretty much the cheapest gigabit router with AC wifi.

What about things like youtube? They're not supposed to consume so much bandwidth, why can't I play an online game like Dota 2 or Overwatch when someone else is using it?
