Question

Students recently created a Gaming Club at their school. On Friday every week, students bring in their gaming consoles (Xbox, Playstation, etc) and they play their favorite games with other users online. However most of the students report that there is a lot more lag (delay in the actions of the controller and in game actions) when playing at school than when playing at home. Which of the following is most likely to be the issue students are having in their Gaming Club?a. The bandwidth of the school’s internet connection is lower than at home.

b. There is a longer latency in the internet communications than students are use to at their home.
c. The gaming consoles RAM is not high enough at school.
d. There are too many devices connected to the same internet connection.

Answer 1

Answer: There are multiple factors that could be causing the issue. Please read my explanation. Explanation: The bandwidth of the schools internet, the latency, and the device count can all be factors here. The school may have a router that doesn't support high MBPS or they may have a low data plan via their ISP. The latency may be higher depending on the routers range, speed, and connection the the modem and game server. The controller is most likely not the cause (wireless controlers have a little non-noticable latency) but the in game actions are cause via the connection. If your school traffics internet connections through their server the server may be slowing the process down via the pc specs and connection to the router.
