LATENCY, mostly TOTAL LATENCY

[Dimitri Muskens]

Thanks, Stuart... your advice should go over really well in the household since I'm doing 3-4 JK sessions a week, mostly in the evenings --- "Guess what, honey? Not only am I going to be in the studio in another JamKazam session, you can't watch tv or use your computer while I'm out there! How about knitting? You could knit me something [runs away]".

Any suggestions on a router that won't get me living in the garage? Thanks again...

Another router/modem is hardly gonna do any good when your household is netflixing, gaming a/o up-/downloading at the same time you're trying to do anything with online audio. There will always be 'noise' = jitter = latency.
A 'sneaky' local QoS shaping (and bandwidth pools), giving your UDP traffic priority could help some, but don't expect miracles.
'Having the road to yourself' and disabling/stopping all other network (LAN & inet) use is really the best(only?) key to success where congestion/noise/jitter is in play.

I hear you with the "household" though. A band friend of mine can't even get 2,5h a week for himself to play online - had to stop that collab.
