Re: Controller input lag over wifi

Fixed it. Had to bug AT&T over and over, and have them send modem after modem... but eventually, I got them to replace the Pace 5268AC modem with an Arris BGW210.

After that, the issue went away. I did put the Arriss in it's version of bridge mode to avoid a double NAT, but Stadia worked fine without having to do that.

So... TLDR... get rid of the Pace.

I don't think there's a lot to his network. Less to his than there is mine, actually.

The ISP gateway has the DMZ mode. This is basically a setting that tells the Gateway to leave the packets alone that are heading to the Nest WiFi.

The Nest WiFi doesn't have such a setting (as a matter of fact, it has very little settings).

The Nest WiFi also only has two2 RJ45 ports on it. One for the internet connection, which he has plugged in. And the other he has plugged into a switch, which only has three devices on it. I'm going to guess one is the CCU, one is a video game console (I'm going with PS4), and the last is the backhaul for the Nest Point he has (he mentioned he has a mesh setup, as he mentioned he has two other points for his WiFi).

He most likely has the AT&T provided WiFi turned off, so no SSID is being broadcast. The Nest WiFi problem has some clever SSID being broadcast, like, "I choose you Charizard", and it's the only device broadcasting it.

Am I close?

One thing that I have found is that Google is of no help for this issue... and neither is most of the community.

They keep trying to fix the lag at the TV... turn on game mode, hard wire the CCU, turn off local dimming... grr. The problem does seem to be in within the Pace 5268AC. I was thinking about trying a Static IP to see if that fixes it. You can actually do a real bridge mode that way (from my understanding).

I'll have to try just resetting the firewall then.

Although, sometimes it takes a LONG time for the settings page to load.

I know the answer to this one. The gateway does not provide a bridge mode. The best it has to offers is the DMZ setting. If you leave the DMZ off, you get into a double NAT problem with the Nest WiFi (anything put in the DMZ zone is also not affected by the DHCP server of the gateway). Although, it's not really that big of a problem if you don't turn it on (although, if you have an XBox connected to it, it will complain).

By default, the AT&T gateway uses the 192.168.1.1 range. The Nest WiFi defaults to 192.168.86.20 - .250

Does this video show what is happening to you?

The common factor I've noticed is that it's AT&T. Pace 5268AC modem/router seems to be a common factor in this problem. The only fix that seems to keep coming up is to use the AT&T provided WiFi for the joysticks. I have not tried this yet... but maybe I will. I too wish that this wasn't the case.

I have been wanting to swap the Pace for an Arris NVG599 or BGW-210 to see if those perform better (they have a better bridge mode, apparently).

One thing that I have noticed that will work for a couple days is to do a factory reset on the 5268AC. Although, that does get old.
