       Your router - Part 1

       Many people nowadays use routers to share their internet with
       others and allow wireless internet access. This has greatly
       helped many people over the years because it's convenient. Using
       routers come with a price however...
       There are two problems that people have been constantly getting
       with routers. The first one is that it increases latency, this
       is a big problem since low latency is crucial for action-packed
       and fast paced games. The second problem is a port getting
       blocked, disallowing some programs and games to operate
       correctly.
       The very first process that you'll want to do is to move any
       electronics between your computer and your router. Things like
       TVs, microwaves, and phones can cause interference with your
       router's ability to send out a wifi signal. If you can't do
       that, move your router or your computer, it's that simple.
       If your router is close to your computer, consider buying an
       ethernet cord to plug into your computer. By doing this, you'll
       greatly reduce latency and won't have to worry about choppy
       signal. You might also gain better downloading speeds by doing
       this too!
