No Upload Speed

[Rilenator1]

My pc has no upload speed whatsoever but 18mbps download speed. I can't play any games on my computer because of the upload speed making my ping to high. I don't know how to fix it.

What upload speed is your connection actually supposed to provide?

 

In order to be able to download at 18mbit, you need to have at least ~384kbps upload speed.  That's the minimum upload speed to be able to sustain that download speed level of acknowledgements. 

 

What performance do you get if you run a speed test like https://fast.com/ and https://speedtest.net/

It wasn't as bad as I thought with 1mbps upload and 20mbps download, but I still can't play CS:GO or Fortnite or anything with ping over 600.

Are you connecting to servers that are in your local region? Does your internet provider de-prioritise gaming traffic?

The servers that I am connecting to are in my region, and I don't know if AT&T de-prioritizes gaming traffic.

600ms+ on all games is definitely not normal. Check that no other devices on your network - including yours - are sending any data to the internet, and if there's nothing, you may want to check your router settings. If you have any QoS settings enabled, try disabling them and see if your performance improves.

How would I be able to do any of that with my modum the NVG599?

I can give you generic instructions, but I have never used that specific device - so I can't give you anything specific.

 

You need to go to your router ip address in your web browser, which is normally http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.100.1/.

 

If those fail, you can find your router address by opening a command prompt (type "cmd" into start) and running "ipconfig". It'll give you a screen like the one below.

 

 

Once you have that, you'll want to go to the ip address listed as "default gateway". In my above screenshot that's 192.168.0.1, but yours will be different if the above links don't work.

 

Once you get there you have to log on with your router username and password - the defaults are printed on the sticker underneath it, but if they've been changed you'll have to ask whoever administers your network. Once logged on, have a hunt around for any kind of settings listed as "quality of service", "QoS" or "network prioritisation".
