Chat delay

[Felmin]

I've been experiencing this issue after I changed to a newer modem provided by my ISP.

Here's what happens:

Party, FC, and LS chat are delayed. People seem to receive my message as soon as I type it, but I do not receive their message on time. This happens periodically and not all the time. When it happens, I am bombarded with messages all at once, which were typed minutes before I actually received them.

Ex. Dungeon finishes, I type, "Thanks for the run!" and do not get replies until I am out of the dungeon and out of the party.

I have tried using WTFast, and it still does not help.

I would appreciate any kind of help on this. Thank you!

Can bet this is the problem. Those things often come with customized NAT/LAN settings that you can't change, and that may screw with online play. Use a bridged port on that thing, but chances are no port is set to bridged. You can find this out by checking the manual of the modem. Ask the ISP if you don't want to play with modem settings or there is no other option.

Yep... seeing odd things like this happen more and more often with the ISP provided models, particularly the combo modem/router ones. Your ISP is likely charging you a rental fee on top of it as well. Might want to look into buying your own modem and a separate router. I know....sucks to think about shelling out north of $100 USD for them, but getting rid of that rental fee will often pay it back after your first year or so, and you will be in control of your local network settings as well.

Thanks for the responses guys! I was wondering if there was anything I could do on my end, but it looks like I will have to contact the ISP : (

Just wanted to let you know you're not alone, I was going through the exact same issue, and also have a modem/router combo from my ISP. Seems like that thing really is what's doing us in.
