Xbox One Battlefield 1 latency problem solved

Excellent. I was experiencing huge spikes in latency on my Xbox One when playing Battlefield 1. At the beginning of the game my latency was around 50ms but at some point during the game it increased to 500-600ms rendering the game unplayable. I found that my WiFi signal is not stable enough for online gaming (Asus rt-n66u, all updates and latest firmware). Connecting my Xbox directly to my router solved the problem. However, my router is not in my living room and it was not possible to move it. This thing did it. I don't get full download speed, but more than enough. My speed when connected to the router is 100 down, 5 up. With the powerline adapter I get 30 to 60 down and 5 up. I expected some losses and that's more than acceptable. I really wish there was a way to rotate the connector on this thing so you can plug it in upside down or sideways. Otherwise this item is perfect.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • I'll write later
