Severe Lag when sharing D3 connections with housemates(1)Category: Technical SupportFebruary-16-2015 3:20 PM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I share an internet connection with another member of my house that also frequently plays video games. Despite all other Blizzard games working flawlessly, whenever he boots up Diablo 3 to play with me or someone else (If i am doing my own thing) he gets massive ping lag, to the point of it crashing his game. I am the one that is hard connected to the modem, he is using wireless. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

any help would be great thanks!

There's a few things you can adjust on the router, and see if it helps. I'd check for the latest firmware first. If it's already up to date, I'd change wireless modes. What kind of router do you have?

Those look good. Can you check the manual? Page 26 shows how to get to the wireless configuration. If you can get there, you might be able to see what wireless modes are available that you can try.

Try different channels, or each and every channel from 1 to 11. You might already be on the least used channel in your area, but we'll see. The goal is to use a channel that is least used by neighbors in your area.
