Can I pick any router to plug into my ISP router?
- richbhanover 4y agoThe name "bufferbloat" is falling out of favor. First off, it has a horrible sound... And it doesn't really give an intuitive sense of what's wrong. Referring to "latency" or (my favorite) "responsiveness" is better. And I was encouraged to see this recent ZDNet article that mentioned the "ping rates" of 600-1000 msec, and notes that these would cause videoconferencing or gaming to be unusable. https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/i-tried-deltas-new-free-inflight-wi-fi-heres-how-fast-it-was/ https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/i-tried-del... And as @giuliomagnifico points out, you can fix it yourself if you get the right router.
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoIt’s a solved issue if you’re using the right hardware for your isp connection.
- culopatin 4y agoWhat does this mean? How can I check if I have the right hardware?
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoDepending on the speed of your ISP connection, the faster is the connection, the powerful should be the router
