The ping rises in games and the connection with the router breaks off

Good afternoon. I appeal to you for help from despair. The situation is the following VFI router TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 In games to play can not play at all. Or do not connect at all, during the launch of games, for example, through steem, when you start the game if you press SHIFT+TAB there appears the status of connection failure.

But it’s worth it to go to the browser or Desktop all at once ok. no yellow triangles against the connection nothing …. When playing, for example, in Dota, connection failure occurs during the game, say after about 5-10 minutes of play, the ping increases and connection failure occurs.

Router firmware does not change anything … On mobile devices such a problem can not pick up, as on the computer video and everything else works normally, Windows 10, well sometimes on a torrent speed drops to 0 and immediately restored …

Answer

Good day. I think the problem in your case is the router performance. TP-Link TL-WR840N simply can’t handle the load. This is a budget router, which is not suitable for such online games. Perhaps, when you are playing games, it is under load from other devices. There may be some hardware problem with the board or power supply. Because of this, too, the router’s performance may drop. Also because of this may be a drop in speed when downloading torrents.

You have not written how the computer is connected to the router. If by wi-fi, then the problem may be in the performance of the wi-fi receiver itself. But it is unlikely.

Try doing a router configuration. Disable WPS, protection against attacks from the network. Perhaps, after that the ping will not drop so much, and there will be no connection failures during online games. You can also try to solve the problem with speed drops during torrent downloads by setting up a torrent client. All information can be found in the articles on the links above.
