Measuring latency
(lemmy.world)
Hi all,
I'm in a unique situation where my landlord can't log in to his router nor is around/cares to contact the ISP to do so. This is my current setup. Does anyone know how I might go about measuring the latency between the router and my end devices (area shaded in orange)? I'm just curious to see how much my setup is introducing in terms of online games and what not.
And yes, 40 mbps is all we get out in suburban Alaska. Cope with me.
Clarification
If you want to test what your equipment is doing to your latency, connect your pc directly to your landlord's router, run latency tests multiple times, then set everything up as you normally would and run the same tests again. Some recommended tests for different situations would be fast.com for netflix/video streaming performance, and https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat for bufferbloat. Other things you'll want to check for gaming performance are double-NAT and ping tests for the online games you tend to play.
