Troubleshooting League of Legends Disconnects: A Peculiar Issue

If you’re an avid League of Legends player, experiencing unexpected disconnects can be incredibly frustrating—especially when they seem to happen without reason. Recently, I encountered a rather peculiar issue: my connection to League of Legends drops every time a door opens in my home, specifically my mom’s bedroom door. While other applications like Discord and general internet browsing remain unaffected, League frequently disconnects during this situation.

This experience has left me a bit perplexed, as I typically pride myself on my troubleshooting abilities. I can usually find solutions online, but this particular problem has me stumped. I’m reaching out to the community in hopes of connecting with some seasoned tech enthusiasts who might have insights or troubleshooting strategies to get past this unusual barrier.

Initial Troubleshooting Steps

Before diving into potential solutions, here are some initial checks and steps that have been considered:

1. Wired Connection: I’m using an Ethernet cable, so I hope to rule out Wi-Fi issues. However, it’s still worth checking the integrity of the cable and the Ethernet port itself.

2. Network Configuration: Topics like router settings, port forwarding, and Quality of Service (QoS) configurations can impact game stability. Modifying these settings may resolve the disconnects.

3. Power Settings: Sometimes, power-saving settings on routers can interfere with online games. It might be worthwhile to look into adjusting the router’s firmware or power settings.

4. Network Interference: Other devices opening or creating interference when the door is opened might be a factor. Considering changes in network activity when someone enters or exits the room could be insightful.

Looking for Your Expertise

At this point, my knowledge is limited, and I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions from the knowledgeable members of the community. If you’ve encountered similar issues, or if you have some networking expertise, your tips could be invaluable.
