connection optimization windows 10

(Option 1) Change your DNS servers:

usually at the bottom of windows 10 on the lower right you can hover over a network button, right click this and select open network and sharing center, now look to the left and you will see "change adapter settings"
regardless if you are on ethernet or wifi, right-click the first thing that pops up -> and click properties -> click internet protocol version 4 -> click properties again -> click use the following DNS address and enter
and find a DNS server address to input in (to your choosings)

Recommended DNS servers:
8.8.8.8 primary -> 8.8.4.4 secondary (Google DNS)
208.67.222.222 primary -> 208.67.220.220

input these in -> validate settings upon exit -> click ok

note: The guide on connection issues from the support team on LoL recommends disabling ipv6 -> if you have already done this and
your connection hasnt improved by use of "speedtest.net" then enable it.

(Option 2) increase reservable bandwith and packets

windows search -> run "gpedit.msc"
enter.
(What if I'm using the home version of windows 10 which doesn't have access to local group policy editor?)
You have to access GPEDIT using a third party software

(If you do have access to gpedit.msc skip to "in gpedit")

this is one I recommend: https://drudger.deviantart.com/art/Add-GPEDIT-msc-215792914
it will say download on the right of the page -> open in winrar or any zip opener -> doubleclick setup.exe
-> this will take you to the command prompt -> now if the file is working, then you will see messages like "SUCCESS" and
it will explain the file path needed to open GPEDIT(Note that even if you search for GPEDIT again, it will not be found)
-> now do a windows search -> type in computer -> click the first result you find (this is basically accessing file explorer) -> click windows (:C)
-> scroll down to windows and double click this file -> do another search or ctrl+f "SysWOW64" or GPBAK -> into "GPBAK" if you didnt find GPBAK immediately -> gpedit.msc

in gpedit ->
double click computer administrative templates ->  double click network -> double click QoS packet Scheduler->
click limit reservable bandwith -> click enabled -> set to 0 -> apply -> ok

now enter -> limit outstanding packets -> enabled -> copy paste 99999999 -> apply -> ok

(Option 3 regedit tweaking)

windows search -> "regedit" ->  regedit -> computer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) - > SOFTWARE -> Scroll down to Microsoft -> Windows -> Double Click Current Version
you will see things such as device path or common files -> right click an empty space in this file and select new dword 32 bit -> right click (rename file) as "Maxconnection server" (space included)
-> right click this file again and click modify -> set value data to 16 and hexidecimal then ok.


Now make another file called "Maxconnection1_0server" -> right click this -> modify -> set value to 16 and hexidecimal ->
ok

(option 4 flushing DNS resolver cache)

open windows search -> type in "CMD" -> open command prompt -> type in "ipconfig /flushdns"

(option 5 Limit auto-processes that take up bandwith) -

windows search -> services.msc -> scroll down to IPHelper -> rightclick -> properties -> disable
Make sure services like steam isnt auto updating stuff in the background while playing games like league -> this also slows down connection
Dont be that guy -> you know, that guy that has a browser open with 20 tabs in the background

(option 6 restart computer and modem) -> turn off your computer (and unplug it) / turn off your laptop for 30 minutes and turn off your modem for 30 minutes as well
turn these things back on 30 minutes later

(option 7 punch ajit pai in the face) -> this may not help improve your connection, but it will release frustrations over slow connection

(option 8 change wifi password) - maybe you have an easy password to hack so other people you dont know are using it, change it to something harder to discover with capitalization and numbers.
