The router that makes BO2 playable from a lag compensation standpoint.

In the first week after release, I was really struggling with my connection in BO2. In 75% of my games, I would be killed before I could react, multiple times. Maintaining killstreaks was near-impossible. This was new to me because in MW3, I was the usual party host and I always hosted private matches and although I had a 3 bar 25% of the time, it didn't affect my gameplay. I went on tens of websites to optimize my router settings and had tried port forwarding, triggering, dmz, mtu, qos and more with no results. Then I stumbled on this video on how to fix lag compensation. I found the router for $80 on Walmart.com and it is a massive difference. Sure, in about 1 out of 4 games there's that ONE guy who you know shouldn't of had time to kill you, but it isn't half of the players in every game anymore. Here are my internet specs from SpeedTest: 25 down, 12 up, 32 ping. These stats did not change when I upgraded to this new router (D-Link DIR-655). My old router was the relatively new Linksys WRT160Nv2. Obviously I don't take responsibility for your financial decisions so blahblah. TLDR; D-Link DIR-655 fixes lag compensation, fuck Linksys.
