So I'm trying to download Everquest and it's excruciatingly slow, like it'll take literally days at this speed despite a 100 Mbps connection. Clearly something's throttling the download. I recently moved and have a new router, and I think it has something to do with that but I don't know enough about it to figure it out. My router is a TP-LINK ac750 archer c2. I tried looking up how to open ports and I set up a port forwarding thingy for the port that it says LaunchPad is using in the resource manager, but that didn't help and I don't even know if I did it right anyway. What do I do?
Do you have a wireless card and a hot spot on your phone you can test it against? Just to rule out hardware? Have you reinstalled the program recently or made any changes to it?
I've tried to hotspot my phone's 4G and the download speed is fine there (for a phone), but not when I connect it to the broadband or whatever, because then it just goes through the router. So it's got to be something with the router itself. I have no way around the router, it just goes into a plug in the wall. I've tried connecting it to the computer via ethernet instead of WiFi but that makes no difference. This is pretty much the extent of my IT knowledge.
Here is the documentation for your router. https://static.tp-link.com/1910012133_Archer C2_V5_UG.pdf There is a section for Bandwidth Control. Make sure there checkbox for Enable Bandwidth Control is unchecked. That should take care of it capping your local LAN PC's.
It's not bandwidth control. That's not enabled, and besides this problem only occurs with LaunchPad. I can download anything else fine, just not Everquest.
From the thread:https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...rt-forwarding-for-dbg-eq.247958/#post-3651949 That would be another thing to try.
UPnP was already enabled. I'm at a complete loss here. Haven't got the faintest notion what could be wrong. This problem is unique to Everquest, I have no issues anywhere else.
