Ok so here is my situation, Time Warner internet 16D 1U. I have a wired adapter. Router is a couple months old. Modem is good. I used to play monster hunter online with no issues. I cannot play a single match of sm4sh online without constant lag. (not just like input lag. but all around lag constantly with occasional complete freezes) I've tried every viable setting with the wii u and with the router. Tried wired and wireless with the exact same results. My PC gets a speed test of 16D 1U. The wii u gives me around 8 or 9 Down and .7 or .8up. The wii u internet browser seems to work perfectly fine and at decent speed. But I cannot play smash. I'm starting to thing there's an issue with my wii u itself.
Anyone else still have these issues? Any solutions?
Update: Switching the router channel proved to not be a solution. I've played a few times since. Once was the worst ever. Another time was relatively playable, a little lag here and there. Another time was awful again. I've tried on various days and times and there seems to be no correlation. I'm wonder if there is an issue with my Wii U itself or if my ISP is just awful. Speed test indicate my ping is always between 30 and 40 so it should be playable.
Update 2: So my friend brought his wii u over to test to see if my wii u was the issue. It was not. He had the same lag issues I have. So that must mean it's my ISP that's the issue. I know 1mbps up isn't a lot but it should be enough to play online, right? Or is it possible there is some issue with my modem? time warner modem
