Bridged Connection on Steam in Windows 10

[Memory]

Hi everyone, if you are having an issue about connecting gaming servers while using bridge on a router; at first I had some problems. Whatsoever I tried turning off file transfer from steam settings, because it initially occurs to me that a gaming server or steam might be thinking that there are two devices connecting from different types of network connection. Let me know if any other fixes currently available and I am still unsure so disclaimers. Thanks for looking in.

By the way I am getting more valuable connection from bridged connection both 5ghz and 15 meters cable.

Have a nice day.

What is "while using bridge on a router"? Please describe your network topoligy precisely.

[Memory]

I mean modem/router, you connect to it through cordless and cabled ways; meaning both needs to be connected and then I followed a YouTube video to bridge them together which is available in my windows 10 PC. Then you go in Steam and play game. If the game file transfer settings on steam this might cause an issue which in my case it did. Even tough the bridge connection sometimes fail due to long cable I assume..

But please I am trying to fix an ongoing problem which most old players faced with. But disclaimers. I am not a professional for this matters.

What exactly do you need the router for? From your description, you got a cable running between your modem and PC, is that correct?

Also, not "most old players". Your setup is, as a matter of fact, rather unusual.

[Memory]

That is correct aaaand you also need to have a "wireless" connection which is fast as 5 GHz.

By "most old players" means that : You wont even be aware of this slight improvement unless you need it after playing some game about 1000 hours and seeing other players overlap you with their connection performance. After feeling like this you will be interested in some tweak on your connection and stability on overall internet connection performance.

By the way while we are going into detail about this, I have found out the bridge connection way while trying to connect and play online games through my phone, because It wasn't stable and stuttering. Totally by chance. Nobody tells you this or It haven't reached to me. And I have reached this way of connection after 10 years. Might be my mistake but..

Anyone who is new to this platform might not even notice the situation and go on for years.

I once tried it and it wasn't working for me then just about today I think It might be working. Just tested it on a game. Game kicked me for once because 5 GHz is OK but cable is too long and probably not the best one. (Cable length 15 meters) (Around 10 - 15 meters distance between wireless router)

If it works let community know thank you.

You need modem which has cable connection and a 5 G Hz wireless all in same device at least.

Erm, what?

Who says you need a 5GHz wirless connection?

I've got it but I don't need it. I can drop down to a lower frequency and have no issues.

Exactly what are you saying here? What issues are you having and what was the previous setup versus what you experience now and your new setup because others have said, your description is vague.

[Memory]

Ok we are looking for peak performance? Or a small boat for fishing skills?

Lower frequency means lower performance so.

I have tested on several games it works like a charm.

Increase in download speed. Lesser ping on online games. And stability. Even if you do everything right it might need time to synchronize so don't be hasty If you try.

Good Luck

No I never said anything about performance, only in the sense that whether it works or not.

The point I'm making is that you shouldn't really notice any big difference in changing frequency. If you do then that's likely down to interference. A lot of household goods are either occupying the 2.4GHz bandwidth or interfere with it. So switching up can often clear things up a bit, but if you compare them both "clean" you won't notice a difference from mere online gaming.

I'd still like to know what you mean - could you please do as I and others have asked?

It actually depends on frequency a lot. You should check out frequency word meaning alone. I am not a manufacturer or something :).

I think you mean cable beat Wifi anytime, but thats not how it look then you go on about wifi and mobil, because no one told you this , or something like that.

Bridge dont mean a thing here, actual you could end up with worse connection, force repeted distance is not always a good thing. ( more a emegency solution, ( farmer with huge distance from house to barn, bad example but again most flat and house can cover 500meter )

Maybe noone told you the 5,4,3,2,1 or old way 5,4,3 switch's on a router, thats 500 meter, im sure your ISP know this.

Again what can you afford and want to get out of wifi or not, or stick to what you have, its matter of best network then get out of wifi, its that simple. ( also depend on distance here among the setup.


ps.
i hope you can see what i think of 10 15 meter, thats not fare and bridge issue is on minimum.

well anyway your network, alot of info aient here.

No you're missing the point enturely.

The fact is that in online gaming the packets of data sent and recevied are TINY.

You will not notice the difference for the simple reason both frequency ranges easily accommodate them.

I don't need to be taught what frequency is - I'm a qualified audio engineer, thanks.

But again, I'll ask - what's your setup youre talking about that we've asked for several times now?

[Iceira]

Many think Bridge is a solution its not its a Repeter, that mean more time until reach its reciving ends ( part of lag or latency on network ) game server do not like lag, sync game data among many player this will increased even more, untill DC.

Again server can kick in and end season, all depend on how much out of syn-c game server allow.
and this is why repeter is a issue. same as wifi and game and it's user conect to each other

bad example a player from EU play at US serve not a problem
but hten you add a aus player in and have sync among them it can be wifi in top of this even worse.

gl with wifi then you are a pro gamer.

OK let me tell you this. This is not big deal obviously. Some people say it may even get worse. That is because you can't use it correctly.

Think of a rope you hold it one hand. It's good OK. But how about a second hand of yours?

Even if we are point 0 to the modem. I am again telling you that I am not the highest point to tell this but your bandwidth would increase. I am just calling a guess here.

But the truth is when I did this at my home about: let me tell again and again my setup whomever couldn't read and add my setup here, I got about 20 meters away my modem placed behind house walls and a router (5 G Hz) closer to it ( 5 meters ) connected to the modem by cable and I am on the other side of the house about 15 meters away from router also using cable (15 meters). So I am connecting to the router from slightly behind a wall on 15 meters by both wireless and wired. By this connection. I have implemented the above instructions. I am sorry If I am repeating myself many times, because this is for a good understanding of the community as to answer the question marks.

By the way I am Computer Engineer who probably needs an audiologist or audio engineer but this is whole another topic so, totally off topic :).

I never considered myself as a professional gamer because I am not. Any person could be a professional gamer but I imagine it must not be easy as you can say "go ahead be a pro". But I don't know if you are anyways.

The thing is as far as I know 2.4 has higher range and 5 G Hz provides higher speeds.

I imagine this is going to be slightly philosophically but if you can give more vibration per second then you'll be transferring more data which makes 5 G Hz faster and because of the load of this 5 G Hz your travel would be shorter. Oooor you know wave peaks higher range shorter last sentence makes more sence (edited).

No you did right now sense its 2 diffrent area, we have seen many do this in same flat or house, have multi routers and repeters that can cause delay the signal get repeted by route or a actual repaeter,

Do note if ppl can walk in the wifi signal area behind the wall you can recive a drop, this is why many of us dislike wifi it's a issue then we DL or play a game, but you already know this, same as water and other things can make interference on the signal, only you know setup here, and that why we ask you. ( but if you are happy with it, then it is as it is. )

Im sure you have friends in other IT area , talk with them maybe they can tell you stick with it, or change it if there is a issue with it.

Dont forget old repeter way was not a issue, today they can be, much more traffic today then a barn with a miliking machine to cows as a bad example here.

Why do you think USA has going though alot of upgrades they went from past modem and ISDN & ADSL to fiber to reduce latency, there are regions they still work on it USA is big. ( same happend at all EU / UK

Dont forget what if other user you comunicate with also have repeater, this is part of network many forget here. and what if all ISP had use such cheep ways to get signal bossted, im sure we can all see out of sync issue.

Things many forget here. by happy ISP is not that stupid.and do such cheap way, you need long distance area where they have no choise at all.

and aient it better we talk/debat on it.
but in the end still your problem to deal with it if you are not happy with own network and its issue with it.

i can only say this pro games do not use wifi, i have said it before, if wifi is so great why dont they use it at Tournament, thats the problem with interference.

gl with it.

I must correct the topic is about this is improvement not modifying your connection. I mean you don't upgrade or anything just improving. You don't get what you already not have. If I gave such impression I apologize.
