CSGO Ping

[Gory]

Hello Steam users, I play csgo on my pc with a wifi connection and I have no chance of moving the modem from downstairs to upstairs or moving my pc downstairs next to the modem, the modem is located at the kitchen (the worst spot) and I get 90 ping on csgo which jumps to 600 constantly, does anyone know a way I can improve the connection and lower my ping?

You would get so much better help if you post this on the game forum for the game. Right click csgo and choose discussions. Post this there.

Get an ethernet connection to the modem. Wifi is very prone to interference.

Long ethernet cable if you don't mind it running through the rooms. Otherwise consider a pair of powerline adapters. Plug one adapter into wall power socket near modem and connect it to the modem via the ethernet port. Repeat upstairs with your pc. Now the traffic will travel along your homes electrical cables.

Different adapters and your homes cabling will effect performance to a degree but you won't get spikes like you do with wifi interence. Mine are supposed to be good for 300mbps but due to the distance and wiring in my house it caps just under 80. Ping is around 3-5 on average for me. Loads better than wifi or a really long ethernet cable.

What kind of PC comes without an RJ-45 ethernet port?

Find it highly unlikely that any pc does not come with a ethernet port on the motherboard so I assume you mean your home and I wasn't clear in my explanation?

With powerline adapters that I mentioned you only need a ethernet port on the modem/router and your pc.

Every modem/router supplied by an ISP (internet provider) that I know of always has ethernet ports, 4 of them, usually.

A quick search on a store locally to me, not always the cheapest, but will do for example purposes.

You plug these into a wall power socket. And by that I mean the same power socket you plug in your tv, phone, kettle etc

To set them up

1. Plug one into the wall power socket next to the modem/router. Then using the ethernet cable supplied you connect the modem/router to the adapter.
2. Plug one into the wall power socket next to your computer. Then using the ethernet cable supplied you connect your computer to the adapter.
3. Press and hold the pair button on one adapter, what for it to flash then press the pair button on the other.
4. Turn on PC and enjoy a wired connection with a huge long ethernet cable trailing through your home.

You can also get these with a passthough socket so that you don't lose a wall plug socket. They do cost abit more though. For example
