For me it has been internet. A combination of my service provider sucking, and really bad luck with routers. We've gone through a $250 Asus router, a $200 Linksys router, and a $140 Dlink router... all three defective.

But HS has been bugging on me. Every time I close it, the game crashes (same manner of crash every time). Sometimes when I boot it up, game crashes. Framerates are weird sometimes as of late (only for HS).

and with all these defective routers your internet provider wont give you one?
I went through a few routers tehn went straight tto Comcast and got one from them that worked great for like 2 years
once that started acting up I brought it back and got a newer model

I mean the wireless router. I'm probably using the wrong terminology. It's not provided by the internet provider.

We'll be switching to fibre optic internet possibly... to a totally different provider on a totally different infrastructure. Then, will research and purchase a fool-proof wireless router. Every time we went to buy one before, we went with highly rated ones... months later "Overheats" and "connection issues" pop up on reviews.

Modem vs Router

Modem is what gives access to the internet

Router is what's not provided for you

Here ya go: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/

Tp-link Archer C7 v2 or Netgear r6400 depending on preferences/needs/budget

R6400 has dropped in price so it might the better option right now as long as you make sure to patch the firmware to fix the security exploit but you probably want to do your own research. Either should be great though.

Though with three routers all not working I'm skeptical that it's the router to blame

My router / modem is an all in one that was provided by Comcast/xfinity.
Contact your provider it may help and cost as little as 5 bucks a month if they have an all in one

I also once thought I had a router problem as the modem would show connection but the wireless was fucked up
Had a guy come out and replace the cables in the basement. He also went across the street and fucked with some box on the corner.
Turns out it was a problem on their end and he just needed to tweak something.
Worked like a gem after that.

Definitely is the router. Actually went through 4 but one wasn't defective.

First one: It got old. Overheated. Literally had to run a fan on it to keep it going.
Second one: We got rid of it because it was Dlink or Cisco or something, can't remember. At the time there was an issue with end term user agreement having spyware built in. They rectified that quickly after consumer backlash, but we didn't want to take chances. It was cheap ($80) so it didn't hurt. Gave it away after finding out they were going back on that spyware thing.
Third one: Asus. Overheated. Literally a known problem. I forget the exact model. It would feel blistering hot when it stopped working properly. You could go to 192.168.1.1, and it wouldn't load (that feature wasn't connected to the internet at all). Had to let it cool down.
Fourth (current) one: Linksys. Not sure what's with it, but again, going to 192.168.1.1 lags when the whole thing is lagging (although it's partially tied to the internet). Unplugging and replugging in fixes the issue. Sometimes the wifi will cut out entirely (no wifi signal going out at all), until we restart it.

The only other thing I can think of would be to replace 100% of the setup. The modem, the wires, everything. 100% system fresh. That's what we're doing soon, although I'll be moving out so it won't matter as much.

I have really bad luck though. I've had all of these issues with tech in the past:
- Asus p8p67 Pro motherboard defective (had to argue with tech for half an hour because he said overclocking wasn't supported by NCIX, but the motherboard cost extra for overclock capabilities -- the motherboard was defective because it couldn't access the overclock features on my i7 2600k, was very odd, also failed to install drivers)
- Replacement Gigabyte motherboard recalled due to Sandy Bridge recall
- GeForce $200 graphics card was faulty
- i7 2600k processor had to be returned to NCIX because the tech thought the problem was the processor instead of the motherboard (stupid tech)
- had to return my 850W PSU (Corsair) because it squealed, had to argue to the tech for half an hour because he thought a loud high pitch squeal was acceptable when I also paid $50 for ultra silent fans
- gone through 2 defective lenses ($1000 lens and $200 lens), and now have my $2200 DSLR recalled on warranty issues, and my $1300 lens has a slight focus ring issue (plus the weather sealing ring wasn't attached properly when I received it but ordered it by mail to get a $300 discount so couldn't exchange)

What I'm saying is tech hates me.



Thanks for the suggestions.
