SA:MP & Counter Strike 1.6 - Connection Issues, High Ping & Network Card Replacement

Hello, I came to you because I know that you will help me, the problem is probably not huge, and is that when I play games (Well, for example SA: MP, Counter Strike 1.6) it breaks my connection indefinitely (once per 5 seconds once in a while) and then it crashes from 100 to 1k ping, falls, increases and so is over and over again, I emphasize when I'm in the game or when I'm in the main menu and refreshing (such table with ping etc.), the ping dies, it is 47 and then returns to the rhythm like a heart after defibrillation but with a ping a hundred times higher.

It has been happening since the time when the network card (TP-Link) got broken, I bought a new better one with the antenna and without unnecessary configurations (apart from installing the driver from the board, etc.) I decided that everything works ... because it works, but in games bothers you terribly. I deal with it somehow, but it's not like a year ago when ping was flying nicely from 30 to 50 ms.

Help, it can't be that complicated, I read other articles but they did nothing or related to a similar problem.

The first question is, what quality of connection does a colleague from AP have?
It would be best if your friend gave the value of the signal loss in dBi. And he also watched the value change for a moment and gave an impression of how it looks.
The easiest way is to be done by a colleague with the inSSIDer program.

Second question, what does AP ping look like?

Greetings!

Well, I'm not such a stranger yet, that's why I quickly read about AP on wikipedia and I'll tell you what I know: The quality of the connection with the router (AP) is very good 100% (5 lines and on the tp configurator there is also a graph, that 100%),

now screen from inSSIDer

Signal value jumps from -50dBm to -52dBm

+ I will add that at the beginning everything is ok, the 40-50 standard, 20 seconds of refreshment and nothing ... good, I click on and nothing, only signs of life, because ping 300 something and again silence ... and my way, everything it flashes again as soon as I enter the 40-50 ping server, but it is known that if someone at home starts YouTube, it has to throw out those 400 ms.

You need to guide me more what to do, because as I mentioned I am still learning

It doesn't look bad and it's a shame we would have the culprit Well, let's keep looking ..
What I mean is your response delay on the Computer - AccessPoint track. Or as it was used to mistakenly say router.

In addition, what does the network look like? Is this a connection from a provider - modem / router + ap - local network or something more complicated? If so, outline the topology.
Maybe some repeater will be on the way?

I used to have a similar problem, where the "checklist" did Wifi for the client and also AP. Once every few days, the device is just stupid and the pings are huge. After the restart everything returned to normal. The culprit turned out to be a poor processor of the device, which did not do all the operations at once and at some point clogged, which resulted in similar situations as yours.

Okay, I read what you wrote, but it turned out that pings 300 and above were caused by someone downloading something (2 updates at a time), I played CS for 2h and it didn't crash me once, the ping was 40-50, but the problem was still stuck in this main menu, after constantly clicking the refresh server information button, ping freezes and jumps to 130 ms followed by peace of mind for a few seconds ping about 50 ms and further freezing, but in the game when the connection is unloaded everything is in I'm fine and I have no problems, but in SA: MP it is a little different, the minute program and the whole game freezes, no signs of life.



Now my theory:

I read an article in which it was written that the culprit could be the option of "maintaining a permanent connection", can I have it turned off after installing a new adapter? If so, where to turn it on, I rummaged in the Control Panel and did not find such a function, and in the router settings on the site I did not get too involved, I looked from top to bottom all the options and found nothing.

Maybe you would know where to find this permanent connection option?
This could be a solution to this problem.

It seems to me that this option is available only in card control panels issued by the manufacturer. I didn't find this option in windows.
Aren't some non-windows software controlling the card?

In addition, try (unless you have previously tried) restart the AP and describe what is happening and in what time.

Which AP / router model?

Of course, the card was controlled by some TP-Link Configure software, something ... (probably a standard configurator from the board + of course the driver) even before I started this topic, but I found that since before the new adapter I did not have this application and everything was flickering, I deleted it but left the driver.

Okay, maybe tomorrow I will do so, I will uninstall this driver completely, reinstall it and help in configuration will be useful, because this one is rather just quick for surfing the Internet but let's get back to the application.

There are two options to choose from: Choose configuration TP-Link Configure ... or System configuration, or something like that. This is where the catch can be, or in the fact that the controller "took bad" and therefore these "defects" in the ping.

I will give the ROUTER (AP) and adapter model, but would the router reset sometimes mean that the whole configuration in the settings (on their tp page) will restore the default settings? I would not like to bother with it ... as for RESTART (i.e. turning off the button on the back of the AP and disconnecting the power cable for 10 seconds, then restarting the router) yes, it did nothing.

+ All cables connected to the "home phone" are well connected

Help,

You need to determine if it's the fault of the internet or wifi.

What kind of internet is it, from whom, how is the home delivered, what equipment the operator ...?

Connect with a cable to the router and test - it will also give us a picture of the situation.

Well, you went after the band ... as I mentioned, this is a small problem that will probably solve soon.

I also mentioned that a few months ago I didn't have this problem and I haven't changed the equipment for a year, besides, the operator on whom I was never disappointed is Orange Neostrada, (he has bad reviews, but he flies like any other operator, so do not write "Well and of course, you have neostrade and that's why these problems ... ") and that's certainly not the reason for my problem.


I wrote this is telephone internet and I use this method for 5 years, all cables are well connected, I checked the possibility of damage, but everything is fine.


How should I connect to the router, since there are no sockets next to it, it is in the corridor and it will take me a hundred years? I can't move AP to the room, because how?
Tel. The house is hanging in the corridor.

I have been using the cord for 5 years, pings were flying nicely from 15 to 40 ms, there were no problems, and it appeared since I have a new adapter?


I will send info about the adapter and AP later, for now I confirm you with KOCUREK1970 that it is not as complicated as you think, maybe it is only configuration errors or a badly installed driver, and in this I am looking for help.

He won't solve it, because if that were the case, the problem would go away.
And the second thing, if once a problem occurs, then it appears again - not "if", but "when".

No one is interested a few months ago - only today.

Neostrada

There are different variants of Neostrada with different equipment.
There is also ADSL and VDSL.
That's why I asked specific questions.

Unplug one of the equipment - that's first.
And secondly - it's in YOUR interest and not mine to check it.
Otherwise you will still be in the forest!
You have no idea if it's the service, the network or the equipment.
Finally, start checking and eliminating something.

Maybe - but you have no idea what causes the problem (and we know it even less remotely).

Every info is valuable, every tip tells us something, your exclusion of something will cause that we will not have to waste our and your time trodding in place.
Well, unless your colleague doesn't care about solving the problem?

Without making unnecessary spam explanations that it is my topic and I decide what to exclude and what not
I will now give the adapter model:
TL-WN722N (150Mbps)

Router model: TD-W8960N
Power supply: 9V === 0.85A
Website: www.tplinkmodem.net

Soon I will re-install the adapter drivers and see if it works, it's worth trying (yes KOCUREK1970?).

PS I do not have how to connect a pc in the corridor, understand this and exclude, only AP cables have their inputs.

I once saw a very similar article that talked about an Ethernet cable, a person connected the cable and in fact everything was spinning properly, but excluding that 95% that would eliminate the problem, let's move a bit further, and I don't think I have it anyway cable.

Added after 48 [minutes]:

Reinstalling adapter drivers did not help much ... going back to the beginning, I only have 20 seconds of some refresh with 30-50 ms ping, then it freezes and again I have to "revive" the link, which gives me another 20 seconds to enter the game server and then I have already byte 30-45 ms.


As I wrote at the beginning, the problem is not serious, but when not using the Internet, it simply falls asleep. It's quite annoying when there is a queue of 3 reserved places, a flock of people just waiting to get resistance to the server 29/31 ... I sigh when I have to wait 20 minutes to enter my favorite server.

In that case, good luck in finding the cause.
But without my participation here.

If you know the AP ip address, turn on the Windows console and enter

Paste the result into the post.

If you don't know the address, type in the console

Search for your WLAN adapter and find the position deafult Gateway . next to it is the address of your AP / router.

In the first picture, you can see that my ip AP is 192.168.1.1, but this is information from the old adapter which was called wireless network 2, and after entering the command you gave me, the "Cannot find file" pops up, because if I have a new adapter , and it is called wireless network 4, in which nwm why the rest of the information is hidden (maybe by auto configuration?). If it weren't for that, it would show me the correct new ip AP address (although i think it would be the same ip anyway, it just doesn't open it through the information and configuration of the old adapter which is broken and not connected to pc long time ago)

+ I will add that while I do not have internet (x on the signal bar in the lower right corner of the screen) when troubleshooting, writes that the ethernet cable is not connected, but troubleshooting "restart the wireless network card" and again I have a net. When I reconnect the adapter, the problem also disappears.

I conclude that through the old TP-Link 54Mbps TL-WN321G adapter configurations
(he was 5 years old, it's a very old model) the computer "freaks out "and does not know which configuration and which adapter to use, because something does not match

+ And so from another packet, signals that sometimes AP searches for me, some DWR- (numbers) (probably neighbors from the opposite, which live about 70 m from my house) it pops up in the menu of connecting to the network, and once I read with a similar problem to mine, it was probably caused by the fact that networks switch between each other even though we are connected to the home network.

Now, nwm, what should I do or delete some old configurations, do something so that I don't connect to another network or anything.

To make sure, remove all drivers and software for both the old and new network kata.
Do it with Driver Sweeper.

Then reinstall the adapter. Connect it and see if Windows recognizes it. If so, ok, don't install anything else. If not, install it through the Windows device manager by selecting the * .inf file from the disc provided by tplink.

Next call the console, enter


Previously, I added parentheses from programming habits as a designation of a given variable.

Then turn on some game where the problem occurred or just load the link. And pat in the console


After all, show the results of both tests.

Driver Sweeper does not detect the new network card and their drivers, as well as the old one, so I used the IObit Uninstaller 6 program, which I have never been disappointed with, because it completely uninstalls what I want. Unfortunately, this one also did not detect the old drivers of the old adapter, but the new one was most likely detected.

Good, fix, after reinstallation (standard tplink installer, because I didn't want to open the .inf file, but smaller) it is wireless network 2 again, and here are some screenshots from the program:




So my AP AP number is 198.168.1.100; ->

+ new test screenshots



the latter while the game is on

+ Speed test result

You were supposed to ping 192.168.1.1, not 192.168.1.100!

You're welcome, bon appetite



the second screen as I'm on the game server, and the last screen cut from the tip of the second one.
