The quality of your Blacknut gaming experience depends on the quality of your internet connection.

-
Download speeds of at least 6Mb/s: If your download speed is lower than 6Mb/s, your connection is unstable, or you are experiencing packet loss, it will negatively affect your gaming experience. It is recommended to have a download speed of at least 30Mb/s for an optimal connection experience.
-
Use a connection with a latency of less than 30ms: Latency, also known as ping, refers to the network delay between your connection and the game server.
-
Check for signs of packet loss: Packet loss occurs when data fails to reach its destination. During connection speed tests, you may notice "gaps" or "cuts" indicating packet loss. This can result in choppy data flow and even connection drops.
-
Connect your device to the internet using an Ethernet cable or 5GHz Wi-Fi: Ethernet cables and 5GHz Wi-Fi connections are generally faster than 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connections. While Blacknut is compatible with 4G LTE connections, the connection quality may depend on your location.
