How to play LAN without problems?

Idk if this is the right place to ask, sorry if not...

Me and two friends are having problems while playing any game in lan because of lag, when each one of us play a game offline it works perfectly but when one is the host, the other two gets lag.

So, what's needed to play LAN without lag? (We use radmin)

Depends on what internet speed you/your friends have. The higher the speed the smoother the game.

When I lived at home, I used a LAN connection to play online but if someone else started streaming Netflix in another room my online game would lag terribly, even though I was connect directly to the modem. I upgraded to fiber-optic internet speed (before I moved out) and didn’t have a problem.

Yeah that makes sense, thanks for replying.

So you're playing LAN mode over the internet? Keep in mind that when a game is played over LAN, the game expects a real LAN connection that is stable and thus doesn't have any features activated that would counter lag.

You could also try to play with other tunneling software like Hamachi or any of the alternatives.
