Upgrade Server?

[TPC]

Another thing, some cheap home routers are cheap because they have sub-standard hardware in them, they can't handle too many connections or too high bandwidth usage, or can just be slow in general.

I overclocked my router a while back and it actually helped some, I noticed RO getting more responsive for things like clicking dialogs, they come up faster. It really helped speed up fishing and mining. Most routers can't be overclocked however, I was just lucky to have one that could be. Turning off any features in the router you don't really need might help too. And if the router does QoS you might experiment with turning it on with different settings (add the ports heRO uses as high priority), or turning it off.
