Looking to know how to optimize my Synergy as atm Im using 3 computers and 5 monitors for up to 9 clients of Eve at once. This will raise in the future to 4 computers, 6 monitors and as many clients as they can handle, or rather that I can manage at once.

Im curious about lag over the network computers using synergy with that many clients all eating network bandwidth as well. Is there a way to optimize how Synergy passes the keystrokes to prevent as much lag as possible due to simply heavy network traffic between the computers, the internet router and the internet connection? The more clients I have running of course the worse the issue gets due to each additional client hogging more of the networking pipe.

Is there a way to run them in serial/parallel that would optimize the bandwidth usage or a way to up the pipe size on each computer? Specifically the server computer?

Thanx for any ideas or tips.

Please disable 3rd party firewalls, use a 100 megabit ethernet connection and use the latest version of Synergy.

turn on QOS (on your router) and prioritize port 24800 highest I was having a little lag, really burps on 3 computers/4 monitors (OSX,Win7, Zorin(Linux)) and turned on QOS, bang smooth as glass.
