My Internet is the Worst Internet I've ever had. (Home Internet)
This could be long because I am writing a lot to explain my situation. Recently, I purchased an entire gaming setup with money saved from work. I've finally got past all my audio issues because it wa...
So it seems that was the solution after all. I visited my local Walmart and picked up a cat6 7ft cable for only about $5. I plugged it in and immediately noticed how fast my load speeds were on google. Then, I ran a speed test and I was pulling 100 mbps! I was really surprised to see this, though I suppose this makes sense. If this cable was literally $5 and the cord I was using before was supposed to be a less superior version, then no wonder my internet was absolutely trash. Plus, I'm 80% sure we have had that cable for years. If you have slow ethernet, then absolutely get a cat6 or better cable. (One person will never ever require more than a cat6 or cat6e btw).

So the first thing I had to do was flip the script, if you will, and take the priority off of GPU and push (optimize it all to the audio size, and use ASIO Drivers and an audio interface). I imagine I might want to check out some games since I have it and I have though about using an Ethernet also. May I ask you, politely, did you just run your Cats directly through your modem bc I have erro beacons that run off fiber so I can't use Cat6 but have the port on the computer. Did you have to get something outside of your existing internet provider and/or run an additional line? My research has been inconclusive. Thanks in advance
Well the GoXLR Mini actually does all of the audio rendering in the device itself, so that doesn't slow down my computer at all. I believe I've actually discovered it to be my plan. The internet still gets bad in the mid-day, like still about 0.1 mbps. I will just have to deal with it until I decide to upgrade my plan is all. As for the rest of what you said, I do plug it into the modem. And I just use an ethernet cable. I don't know what erro beacons are, and I don't know what it means to "run an additional line". I'm not super smart about this kind of stuff.
