A dual band router broadcasts both a 2.4ghz and a 5.0ghz frequency and you can choose which one to connect to. This is a super crowded frequency from other wifi devices and things like baby monitors (took me forever to realize that my baby monitor was making my Roku drop a few years ago).
Tue 14th Nov You may know some/all of this but if it helps: your basic router will broadcast a 2.4ghz frequency.Luckily, portforwarding has worked on Switch for more than a month now and it seems to do so on Xbox, too, but I don‘t frequent there too often.Īnyway, sorry for all the ranting and rambling, this guide kinda provoked me to let all the frustration out, which in itself is always good thing, I‘d say. But I changed zero things with it between installing it and the moment it decided to just do away with online gaming. Pretty much told me he‘d send a new IPv4 address, which solved nothing, and told me to call up AVM, the company producing my router, saying the issue was in the configuration of my router. Luckily I got a guy who at least knew how I was feeling as he owned a PlayStation, too. So I called up the IP today, good old Vodafone, got a FritzBox from their Kabel Deutschland subsidiary for the better part of a decade.
Also, I think of this as only a temporary solution as it still doesn‘t tackle the root of the issue nor the fact that this happened so suddenly. Sure, portforwarding solves that but I‘ll have to activate and deactivate some of those depending on the console I wanna play online on.
Oh, if only the weak Wi-Fi was my problem! I‘ve been on and off working to fix the fact the router I received at the beginning of August pretty much blocks all online gaming and that not even since I got it but since the beginning of October, from one hour to the next.
