Not sure where to ask because I don't know if this is Battle.net issue, or Unifi issue..

After getting Unifi 2 months ago, things seems to be fine, me and my brother share the same connection and could play starcraft ii together or seperately in two different games.

But since 3 weeks ago, whenever both of us playing starcraft II together (both in game, whether same game or not), my brother's game will become extremely lag (like freeze for few seconds, then everything run very fast to catch up back the time.. ) I have no clue why..

Both PC formatted and fresh install only starcraft II.. same problem

Seems that my connection dominates whenever I play starcraft ii, because my pc no lag at all while my brother lags like tahi. Is there any setting to in Unifi to split the bandwidth evenly among two pc?

Thanks!

ping 5ms hehe..

download and upload speed also 5mbps

i download things normally also can reach 500kb/s... starcraft ii should need to limit bandwidth on my pc gua..

doesn't think is latency wor, because the respond very fast, just that it will freeze for few seconds, then suddenly everything fast forward (and all units died lol) back to speed... only if both of us playing starcraft ii at same time... and only happens to my bro's pc sad.gif so strange

how much bandwidth could you hog with sc2? very little, compared to what unifi can provide.

ya that's why... i thought of limiting my pc's bandwidth using some program, but doesn't make sense..

maybe unifi's wifi router lousy.... both our pc using wifi connection..

but the router is provided by unifi.. I only have adsl router modem which i used it for streamyx last time but they are different. The streamyx one has phone line input while the unifi one has network cable as input..

Anyone knows a good unifi router replacement that i can buy to replace it?

Thanks!

then it's quite obvious the issue is with the wifi router. I get pretty sucky wifi for the router but cabled connection is fine. Unifi 5mb user here.
