My buddy and I couldn't get Share Play to work on PS4, and I found I was getting slow speeds stemming from my trusty old Linksys WRT54GL router. The old girl has held strong for like 10 years, never loses my connection, never has to be reset... but turns out she can't keep up with my fast cable internet speeds.
When I bypassed the router and hardwired my PC straight into the modem, I went from 21mbps download/2mbps upload, to 91mbps/12mbps on speedtest. PS4 went from 17/2 to 49/8 when connected straight to the modem. Now Share Play worked perfectly.
So, without having to invest in a $200 Super Router or anything, can I achieve these results (91mbps/12mbps) on a cheap router like this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I see plenty of others in the $40-50 range which have gigabit ethernet ports... but is that mainly all I need? Or am I missing something as far as these $150 to $200 ones go? Thanks!
