Why does the ping increase in games and the connection to the router is cut off?

Good afternoon. I am asking you for help out of despair. The situation is as follows: TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 VI-FI router. I can't play games at all. Or it does not connect at all, during the launch of games For example, through Steam, when you start the game, if you press SHIFT + TAB, the connection break status appears there.

But if you go to the browser or the Desktop, everything is ok. no yellow triangles against the connection nothing ... when playing, for example, in DotA, the break occurs already during the game, say after 5-10 minutes of the game, the ping rises and the connection is broken.

The firmware of the router does not change anything ... On mobile devices I can’t catch such a problem, because on the computer the video and everything else works fine, Windows 10, well, sometimes the speed drops to 0 on a torrent and is immediately restored ...

Good afternoon. I think the problem in your case is the performance of the router. TP-Link TL-WR840N just can't handle the load. This is a budget router that is not suitable for such online games. Perhaps, at the time of the game, it is under load from other devices. Maybe there is already some kind of hardware problem with the board, or the power supply. Because of this, the performance of the router may also drop. Also, because of this, there may be a drop in speed when downloading torrents.

You have not written how the computer is connected to the router. If via Wi-Fi, then the problem may be in the performance of the Wi-Fi receiver itself. But hardly.

You can also read these articles:

• The router is constantly rebooting or having to reboot.
• When downloading a torrent, the Internet is disconnected. uTorrent and Wi-Fi router.

Try configuring your router. Disable WPS, Network Attack Protection. Perhaps, after this, the ping will not sag so much, and there will be no connection drops during online games. You can also try to solve the problem with a drop in speed while downloading torrents by setting up a torrent client. All information is in the articles on the links above.
