Improving home network
3 minutes ago, Matthew Waring said:Thanks for the clarification, he came out with the statement that his girlfriend had worked in networking for 4 years and agreed that me playing games was hogging all the network bandwidth when he uses for games, streaming netflix at the same time.
Yah, playing games on a 200/20 connection is not going to cause issues. Even streaming Netflix is 30Mbps (iirc) for 4K and wouldn't cause any problems. I actually work as a network engineer and I'll tell you right now that their statement is bullcrap, playing games doesn't use much bandwidth at all.
The only way you could possibly be causing them any problems, based on the information provided, is if your powerline was somehow blasting out EMI when you were gaming which I HIGHLY doubt, or if you were doing some intense downloading as well while you gamed.
