Instability

Is anyone able to explain how with 226.6Mbps DL, 26.7Mbps UL and 15ms PING I'm getting "Game might stop"? I'm already on 5GHz, tried changing the wireless channel and have the same issue on two different devices. Worked great for a couple of weeks and is now horrific.

Hello @jackkay93

This kind of thing can be challenging to diagnose. But, I have a few thoughts that may help. First, the download benchmark – as long as it's enough – isn't as important as having a stable connection. Being on 5GHz is better than being on 2.4GHz, but being on Ethernet would be better still. Is there any way you can try that, even temporarily to see if it might be the issue? Do you have anything that could be interfering? Things like wireless audio systems (surround sound speakers, a subwoofer, or a gaming headset). Do you have a feel for how close any neighbors might be that could be on the same channel? Is anyone else in your household using the internet for video streaming (e.g., YouTube, Netflix, etc.)? Is this on a TV with a Chromecast Ultra, a computer, or a phone? If it's on a computer, is there a chance something is running in the background? Basically, there are a few things that can cause this, so we need to know more about the environment and what may have changed recently.

Do you have by any chanche the 2.4 and 5ghz network with the same SSID/password?

It's strange as it worked fine at first. No new devices, SSID's are split, already tried a few different wireless channels. Nothing else is streaming, actually tried turning off all my other devices to try. It's happening on my mobile and iPad but also happened on my laptop too.

I've split them and can connect to them individually!

Coincidentally, this has only happened since I cancelled my Pro subscription. Is there any settings within Stadia that can be chance as the stadia speed test has me at 250Mbps too.

seems stadia wasnt well thought out and tested before they launched it.
