Default Server set up - having latency issues..

Currently running 2 PCs on the same network. 1 PC is set up for the server with windows 10 while the other is set up with 12 of my characters running on isboxer.

I have everything up and running just fine but when I did some testing I realized each of my boxes are running between 200-500ms latency. Its very noticeable when trying to have characters autofollow me. I have boxed 12 on live servers just fine so I assume it is a server issue.

The server is running on a wireless card through a wireless router but pings at a constant 20ms.

Are there some settings on the server I am missing that is causing this high latency? Windows firewall is disabled..

edit: Should also mention that I am using the eqemu public login server.

Sounds kind of like an upload issue. Your wireless card might not have enough throughput to handle all those connections at the same time.

I ran a speedtest on the pc running wireless and its getting 70 down and 10 up. Decided to try to run the server and characters all on one pc and it actually seemed to fix the issue. Now ill be checking to see if there are latency issues as more people connect, specifically outside the pc running the server.

I am also considering renting a dedicated server. I have some experience with windows server and rdp. Does anyone have suggestions for dedicated hosting companies for under 50 a month that offers some version of windows server?

if its all local, you don't need the isp bandwidth. if your router has (2+) gigabit ethernet connection and you are close enough with both, that's the way to go.

you 12+boxes should be fine local, even if wireless, really. maybe "G" might be slow with 10-20?

70/10 would be for anyone connecting through public emu loginserver. i have no idea what that would break down to. 70-100 connections? 128kb/s should be enough for eq and then some i'd bet?

Well the issue lies whether or not his wireless can handle 12 connections going out. Might be an issue with the router or the wireless. Honestly try a direct connection instead of wireless to the router. If that solves the latency problem then you know it's related to the wireless on either the router or pc
