    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    Major thanks to @Yannafuntime for your list. After breaking my bandwidth, I worked backwards and figured out what actually fixed the problem. It was the Auto-Tuning config. One of the side effects of disabling that is it breaks my Speedtest software, but it doesn't break my continuous speed...

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    @ToeJamSamy I've disabled File-sharing updates, kill all apps running in background and sync is disabled. Since this is a clean install of windows 10 pro, it would have to be something pro does that home doesn't do. Though I don't know what that would be.

    At least not visible. I went the easy route with my last router, and using xfinity's standard router (stupid idea, spend the money and get a real router) anyways, it doesn't have anything like that on it. Or any other QoS feature that I have access to at least.

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    I had already tried this. Even dialed NIC down to 10mbps, but it still crashed the bandwidth for the whole network. (Boggles the Mind) I have 10 Pro, everyone else in the home has 10 home all latest updates. 9+ HD Security Cameras, multiple IoT devices throughout the house. 3 computers being...

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    @Yannafuntime thanks for the info! I had come up with a work around, using mobile hot spot and adding routes to force all traffic going to daybreaks public network to go through mobile hot spot. Found out when I added that route, without hotspot enabled, I only lost 400 Mbps instead of 900 Mbps...

    Well, clean install didn't work :( Did fresh install of windows. Didn't install video drivers. Just Ethernet, same issue.

    Correct, not at once. I didn't think about Wireshark I'll give that a shot. I have a traffic meter I was using but it didn't show anything unusual.

    @an_image that might be the case. Full wipe and reinstall, really wasn't wanting to do that. I've been running on this Windows install less than 6 months :(

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    Example 1: No EQ running on any network computer: 900+ Mbps Speedtests on all computers Example 2: Run EQ on my computer. < 150Mbps Speedtests on all computers Example 3: Run EQ on a different computer. 900+ Mbps Speedtests on all computers No MQ2 or any other application running for these...

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    @an_image Best I can tell no. I've run EQ on a VPN so theoretically my ISP wouldn't know what was running or on what port, and my Bandwidth still tanks when I log into the game. Also, I can run EQ on other computers in the Network and do not have this issue.

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    Thanks @Zebadiah for attempting :) @Knightly both. I run it on my computer and 3 other computers on the network and they all show similar bandwidth degradation. As far as firewalls go, for testing I have all my firewalls off. Microsoft and Hardware. @secret_wombat no other game is effected...

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    According to my continuous speed test, from launcher to server select it stays the same. Bandwidth drops in middle of first load screen, bounces back at end/character select. When I select a character and go into the game, it tanks and never recovers. Infact if I play for more than an hour, I...

    Aye it tanks. Required as in: Service Host Processes, COM Surrogate, Video Drivers, etc... I go in and kill everything other than bare minimum needed to run Windows and EQ :)

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    Aye, killed all services other than required and EQ. I've been using MQNext, but all that's turned off as well for this testing.

    Problem - Bandwidth Issue with EverQuest (Really trying with "Stupid Question")

    I'm back at EQ after a long hiatus. And out of everything that could go wrong, EQ is killing my bandwidth. I figured I'd post here as this seems like a site of people that have been around the block. Here's the rub. I have 900+ Mbps cable connection and get that using SpeedTest. When I'm...
