Simple route illustration: the goal is to replace an unstable path with a cleaner gaming route.

How to use this guide

  • Test the same game, region and time window.
  • Compare stability, jitter and packet loss, not only the first ping number.
  • Keep Wi-Fi, downloads and launcher updates out of the test when possible.
  • Send screenshots and route details to support if the result is unclear.
