I've been playing call of duty modern
warfare for quite a few months now and
everything was smooth in terms of
internet connection
stability speed until the last couple
weeks and something weird kind of
happened I noticed that my lag was
starting to pick up a lot more as
getting judder in the picture and
ultimately it would just kick me out of
modern warfare and the PlayStation
Network altogether I wasn't sure what
was going on even after adjusting the
settings until I found this one trick
that I stumbled upon so in this video
I'm gonna show you what that trick is
and I'm also gonna give you some tips
along the way to hopefully help your
internet speed pick up as well and
stabilize your connection so what you
want to do it first is you want to go up
into the settings of the PlayStation
menu and then you want to go down to
network and then what you want to do is
you want to get a baseline reading of
your how fast your internet is before
you do any settings ahead of time so
that you can see if that setting change
helped or didn't help your internet
connection so you want to go down to
test internet connection
okay so this is the baseline reading so
you wanted to do now is you want to go
back and then you want to go up to where
it's a setup internet connection and
then I use Wi-Fi although everyone says
LAN cables better just in terms of
convenience and my routers all the way
downstairs so running a wire through the
house you know isn't the most convenient
thing so go to Wi-Fi and you can choose
either easier custom with custom you can
change settings such as your your DNS
your Mac but I found that it didn't
really help my internet that well and it
was still lagging and kicking me out of
the internet and you know huge
frustration with modern warfare so I
stuck with easy and here's your network
list and I found this one setting that
is you if you skip this menu you know
and you just choose it and go you won't
notice it right away but it's right here
on the bottom where it says options menu
if you hit that it pulls up what's
called Wi-Fi frequency bands and you can
actually adjust it between two point
four and five gigahertz radio bands now
for a lot of homes the way that their
network is set up is that they'll have
like the network name and then the radio
band so they'll have like two networks
sometimes but separate radio bands well
in my house and I know for a lot of
others too
my network is only one name but two
radio bands so a lot of things like the
iPhone that's filming me right now is
using five gigahertz automatically
because it decided that that was the
quickest internet but the PlayStation
what I realized was doing was it was in
undie fault automatic it was connecting
to the internet and then it would it
would choose five gigahertz well five
gigahertz is not optimal for where I am
because my router is downstairs it's not
picking up very well so then it would
switch the 2.4 then it would switch to 5
and 2.4 and that conflict was was making
it slower significantly slower in fact
Lag I noticed in modern warfare and war
zone in particular and to the point that
it would just kick me out of the
internet all together out of PlayStation
over
so I experimented with five like I said
and then I found out that that wasn't an
optimal internet speed
I was really slow in fact so instead I
did two points for and 2.4 fixed it so I
I went into my network name so then now
what it's doing is it's only connecting
to the the one radio band that you tell
it to set so now it hooked up to my
network at only a 2.4 gigahertz and
so what's important here is you want to
test your internet connection at least
twice to make sure that that setting
change helped your internet as well
okay so picked up a little bit you you
want to run this test at least twice to
get a better reading of if that worked
or not
keep in mind I did as you see I changed
my NAT type to type 1 and you can do
that by logging into your router
settings but I found that this trick of
making it only go to one radio band or
the other significantly helped
everything and so I don't think so much
that the NAT type was the the thing it
may for others though but I think it
helps you know even if marginally so
yeah that's it so if you enjoyed this

always thanks for watching and I'll see
you guys on the next one
