Which type of Ethernet cable is recommended for Online gaming ?

[Aiden2k13]

Hi, what type of ethernet cable do you use for connecting to the internet for playing online ?
What is the best among these type of cables ? url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cables
Currently I am using Belkin Cat 6 Patch cable and I am facing lags while playing online. I have four Cat 6 Patch cables and I tried them all but same problem, hence wanna know your recommendation.
I am on 32 mbps connection.

Thatis because the cables have nothing to do with your Online lags.

Run this free App and it will tell where your lags are.

Its skill based match making. A player becomes the host and he could be anywhere in the world.

If so I doubt that One can do any thing about it.

Anyway, there are browser extensions that tell you the IP of the page that you are connected to.

Example - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ip-address-and-domain-inf/lhgkegeccnckoiliokondpaaalbhafoa

If you have a consumer router that you can admin into then you probably have logging ability. Just reset the logging to clean house and reboot with only the Xbox running and the game playing. Now go look at the logs and see what Inbound and Outbound log files reveal. You can do a lookup of the target IP addresses and find who owns them (e.g. Microsoft).

Well I would like to know the IP that I was connected to when I was playing Call Of Duty . I suppose my router will have it. So , how do I know ? Where do I find it ?

I have chrome and I installed this but I play on Xbox One and PS4, so will the IP show there when I play on Xbox One and PS4 ?

Then there's literally nothing you can do. If the host is on some third world dialup connection, everyone in the match is going to have that same kind of lag.

It's one of the reasons FPS players cant stand matchmaking/peer to peer systems and much prefer dedicated servers.

True.

True.

So if you have some friends that also play, you could rent a dedicated server?

Or even build one in somebody's garage. Then you'd probably have very little lag.

My minecraft server is local. I don't play much anymore but it works a lot better.
