Wi-Fi Router

Steadiness beats speed. That is what a MOBA needs.

What it changes

Honor of Kings does not use much bandwidth. What matters is response time (ping) and how much it wobbles (jitter). Even with a good average ping, occasional spikes make your character teleport or delay a skill you already pressed. Land one of those inside a teamfight and it decides the fight. Replacing a router helps when it cuts down those spikes.

What to look at

Can it handle the number of devices in the house (your match shares the line with someone's video), does it hold a stable 5 GHz link, and how far and through how many walls is your phone. The 'game mode' on gaming routers is essentially traffic prioritisation. Before buying, try moving the router and connecting on 5 GHz. If the line itself — the contract or the building's wiring — is the problem, a new router will not change it.

ピング値を劇的に下げる方法|ネトゲに最適な5つの設定

設定の前に大前提として、対戦ゲームをするなら光回線を引くこと、と念を押している。モバイルWi-Fiやホームルーターでも遊べないわけではないが、どれだけ設定を変えても一定以上はping値が下がらない。

もう一つ注意が要るのが、はじめから建物に付いてくる「インターネット無料」のマンション。光回線であっても、住人側ではどうにもできない理由で対戦ゲーム向きでないことがある。その場合は無料の回線とは別に個人で契約できないか検討する、という順になる。

※この動画はパソコン向けの設定が中心なので、スマホからそのまま真似できるのは回線・ケーブル・IPv6のあたりまでになる。
