Re: Lag on LoL Wilsor split off
Hello again -
My issue has come back
To remind you of our story. We had a cheap Phicomm router that would provide everyone on the network with stable - (in terms of ping) LoL connections, which was great, but the router would randomly restart itself every hour or so, kicking everyone out of games for a good 5 minutes while it rebooted to re-establish the connection.
To combat this we requested an official plusnet router which had a solid connection (ie wouldn't drop) but the ping's were abysmal for playing LoL, so we swapped back to the Phicomm router for now.
Fast forward a few months and we're sick of the disconnects. We purchased a Billion 7800N router to try and have the best of both worlds, ie consistent low ping and no disconnects. It was fine for a bit, with a fast connection, but now I'm seeing ping spikes every 10 minutes of up to 300/400ms, basically the same problem the plusnet router had, but in bursts. This is really disappointing to me, considering the rave reviews on the router and how much I spent (over £100).
I've made sure I'm on a static IP, and done all the port forwarding rigmarole and presumably our upload is still uncapped?
But I'm really out of ideas now, and I want to try and act fast to get this sorted because if it doesn't get sorted I'm requesting a refund on the router (good old amazon) and going back to the phicomm
I have restarted a TBB graph for the new router and Im keeping an eye on it

I did a tracert to the LoL servers and got this:
