Do you already have an optimal connection. Learn what it takes.

1. OPTIMAL CONNECTION
How to Ensure an Optimal WTFast Connection

2. An optimal connection is the
combination of different
variables.
Internet Service Providers
Viruses & Malware
Servers & Proxies
Traffic / Bandwidth
Coaxial Connection
Geographical locations

3. Optimal connection is not
going to be faster than the
speed of light!

4. Ping is the response time from
your computer to the destination
server. Its the most common
network measurement. Ping
doesn't tell all the story.

5. How to set up WTFast for
an optimal connection

6. When available, always select (Choose Best). In most cases, there are
multiple servers at each location. When you choose a server in Texas, Los
Angeles, Germany, wherever, make sure to always pick the top (Choose
Best) option, this will pick the best performing WTFast server available at
that time. Your connection to each WTFast server may change over time,
(Choose Best) helps to ensure your connection to that location is always
optimal.

9. For GOOD results: Pick a WTFast server close to where you live, this will
often help significantly to reduce latency, flux and spikes while you are
playing your favourite game. If you do not know where your game server is
located, this is a safe option to pick. In WTFast if you select "All Servers",
there is also a sort by ping option so you can see the WTFast servers with
the lowest ping to you.

12. 3. For BETTER results: Pick a WTFast server close to where your game server is. This will
generally give you better reduction for ping, flux and spikes while you are playing versus #2. If
you are unsure where your game server is, an estimate of the game server location is provided on
the WTFast statistics window. This estimate is provided using MaxMind geo-location, it is not
guaranteed to be accurate. For best accuracy, we recommend asking the game provider or a
friend with some technical skills for the actual game server location.

15. 4. For BEST results: Advanced/premium users have access to chained server connections. To
activate, go to "Manage Settings" in WTFast, and activate "Enable Chained Servers". We recommend
setting up server 1 close to where you live (Choose Best, or Sort by Ping), and Server 2 close to the
game server. Different combinations of WTFast servers will provide different results. Often a
chained connection will give the best possible results for reducing ping, flux and spikes because you
can control the connection from end to end.
NOTE - often chained connections can require a lot of trial and error to configure properly. We
recommend trying single server connections first before attempting chained connections. We also
recommend trying "Auto select best connection route" for chained connections, which will pick the
best connection automatically and eliminate the trial & error for figuring this out.

17. 5. Server Ports: Advanced/premium users have access to multiple port
configurations. In many cases Internet Providers (ISPs) will throttle/restrict
traffic based on the port that it is being sent on. This option will allow you to
send game traffic on a different port to avoid being throttled by your ISP. You
may adjust your port setting by clicking the "Manage Settings" button in WTFast.

18. Avoid WiFi Connections: For online gaming, it is a good idea to avoid WiFi
connections when possible (especially public, shared WiFi). In general, WiFi is poor
for online gaming, creating lots of ping flux, spikes and packet loss. Use direct
wired connections if you want the smoothest connection for online games.
