High internet speed, good WIFI signal... laggy online games, high ping. Help.
Hi.

My question may be amateurish but, I just can't seem to find the solution.
I live in an apartment, and the internet modem is in the next room, wich I have no access to.
The bandwidth is good:
60Mbps download, 10Mbps upload
And the signal is always all the way to the top.
Most of the time downloads and websurfing are fast enough, but whenever I try an online game, it just doesn't stop showing high internet latency, or high ping, lag and rubberbanding.

I already tried to change the wifi channel, to a less crowded one, and sis the speedtest several times, the speed is consistent.
And no, I can't use wired connection.

Any help would much appreciated.

Did you do an online speedtest that showed 4ms ping?

Normally thats the ping a server host has.

does room mate use wifi sametime or is he connect via cable and its only you that have wifi for yourself. ( and ask if router is update and same goes with driver to own netcard drivrs. )

seen several wifi fix from manufactor in software update to wifi on routers

even reset to default, has also help because of configuration change in update.

ps.
if both use sametime, then that could be a problem, some router is not that great with multi users, ( they are actual is seen per household with own multi access, not through walls to neigbours. ) and even if person that pass through from router wifi to connection can reduce signal. ) so router installation might be better at wall closer to you, again depend on building or wall armed wire and concrete is worst case, but i doubt its that. with that good signal.
i just mention this so you get the bounce on wall effect and why you get signal and if person walk through it. )

This is most likely the issue. Didn't think of this.
There's more people connected, not really using it, but the other people are connected to the wifi.
Damn.
The problem is most likely Packet Loss...

This happens randomly when others are using your internet as well as signal strength through objects and walls.

Could also just be the connection in game.

For instance. If I try and que for CSGO matches on Faceit at a certain time of day or night it'll match with people form canada and even europe...
so Server ping, and the server's own packet loss can play a big roll in connection speeds.

I'd say Try testing multiple games then seeing which ones are the laggiest.
I got like 450Mbts/s internet speed and steam is limiting it to 50Mbts/s. Cannot change or boost it. It's the worst platform to download from!!!
Steam usually shows in byte, speed is in bit.
That would fit your numbers
