Evening all, I have posted something similar on the PC forum pages and thought I'd got to the bottom of it, but last night the issue came back. I've been getting packet loss while playing Warzone and after some helpful suggestions on the PC forums, we seem to have narrowed it down to the backhaul causing the issue. I swapped the Mesh nodes to just be in bridge mode and things seemed to have got better until yesterday.
My setup at the moment is Virgin Superhub 3 in router mode, Nova Mesh WIFI MW6 (dual band) in bridge mode. I have a 4 nodes around the house and the room where the PC is is above and opposite side of the house (PC is hardwired in to a node). I'm getting speeds of between 50-170mbs on a single speed test on the Broadband Quality Monitor. Where as if I plug in next to the router I'm getting a steady 600-650mbs.
I'm looking for the best way to maintain these speeds where the PC is. Obviously the best way would be to hardwire, but I'm just weighing up options before routing cables through the walls.
Is it possible to buy a better router and a wifi card for my PC and then just use the Mesh nodes as a bridge from the router for wireless access to the other devices (they do a great job for everything else around the house). I'm thinking there's no way for me to guarentee which wifi the PC would connect to? Unless I could run two wifi networks - this feels like a backwards way to do things if even possible.
Would I get a better result using powerline adapaters? Or is there another option I haven't thought of that could do the job better. I'm happy to get rid of the mesh nodes but they do work for everything else perfectly fine.
Thanks in advance.
