2 Consoles on 1 Wi-fi Network
Okay, I'm wanting to get 2 consoles, specifically 2 PS4s. I have a DSL wi-fi network at home (that's the network I'll be using to do online mutliplayer), and I want to know:
Has anybody played 2 consoles on the same wi-fi network on any game's multiplayer. And I have a few questions. When you do that is it laggy? Can you do it with MMOs like upcoming The Crew, Planetside 2 and Destiny?
Any info or light you could shed on this question would be appreciated! If you play Xbox or PS anything it doesn't matter, I just need to know if you've played online multiplayer with 2 consoles, not a LAN game or anything. I need to know if 2 consoles won't be laggy on my wi-fi network because it'd be over $1,000 to get them both, another TV and some games, so this is important to me. Thanks in advance!

Depnding on how good your internet is is the main issue. Like for me I have clearwire and most of the time it sucks having 2 online games on at once. But I go to a friend's house who has like comcast or AT&T and We're able to game fine with like 3 consoles on the wifi with 2 phones on the internet.

If you have 0.7mbps+ upload speed, <100ms latency, download speeds of 5mbps+, and a router with 802.11n (and dualband) you should definitely be good for 2 consoles playing games online at once. You could probably even get by with specs less than the aforementioned and get by. You can check most of the above at [url]https://www.speedtest.net[/url] Also my speeds are listed in this post.

Depends on how good your DSL service and modem are, whether it has a cap or not, also how good your wireless router is. I have never run two consoles at the same time, but I have had a computer streaming Netflix and played a multiplayer FPS with no lag. One difference is I have cable, which according to experts had more bandwidth but not more raw speed.

Fastieにより編集済み: 6/28/2013 8:38:23 PMThis depends on your DSLs wifi capabilities. such as their highest speeds and such and then also your actual broadband speed. Wifi will always create more latency then with cable but newer wifis and such have become very good. I shouldn't go into detail here because im not an expert and is bound to make mistakes.

ColdAdam010により編集済み: 6/28/2013 8:07:41 PMYou will more than likely have lag from time to time with Wi-Fi with two consoles, and I'm assuming both consoles will be connected via wifi. To prevent any lag make sure to have at least a decent Wi-Fi setup and no interference (e.g. phones at the same frequency!). If you can use the new ac frequency, Have to check if PS4/XB1 support that.

I guess I have to wonder why you would not run a wire to either? Wireless should be a last resort in multi-player gaming. I don't think two devices should be a problem, but the location of them and what else is in your house can be.
