Router or internet makes my ping go higher?

[AnonJoe]

Hey so i was playing on a us east server and i thought 90 ping was ok but then i played 60 ping with same location same internet same pc everything idk maybe miracle of cables or isp fault? Like i usually get stable 90 ping but one day i got 60 ping for a entire day that day was a sunday but even though can i do something to lower my ping?

[forever worthless, dead.. ILUAM]

how do u know it was the same server? did u open console & verify its the same ip?

ur trace route could of changed which is the path data takes from ur pc -> isp -> X routing server on the internet, could be 1, could be 20, -> destination server, that path outside ur isp ur isp has little to no control over, the whole path u have no control over. a router in itself adds about 0.5 ~ 1.5ms, other devices could of been downloading/uploading & u have a poor or disabled qos on the router.

tons of factors. there is no magic action u can do on ur pc that will cut ping down

use
netstat -n -o
to get pid (use task manager to convert pid to program name) and server ip

What router do you use?
Wired connection to that router right (not wireless)?
Shared network/internet (with other users) or not?
Any background downloading/updating, etc (other things which might use the bandwidth)?

Repeat this performance test a few times:
http://www.speedtest.net/

Are the results similar/smooth each time, or greatly vary (spike, drop, bounce, high ping, etc)?

previously it had vary from time of day like in the early morning and late night it would be like 60 but there is 2 different results depending on server there is a server in my city which i get 120 ping and a server just 100 miles away which i get 63 ping, i use a tplink router and its a wired connection and yes i share my connection with my sister, mom they both use mimal bandwith as they just use it for work, hw

try this

start -> run/search -> cmd
pint -t google.com
play game for a while
exit game
at the cmd box, hit ctrl + c to stop ping bomb
will give min/max/loss
if loss is more than 0 its an issue with your router or isp

Your internet runs via your phone lines? If so, pick up the phone, dial 0, and just listen for the amount of static / buzzing on the line. This is known as line noise and if high, can also upset your internet performance.

Disconnect all other devices off the line (phones, faxes, etc). See if there's a major change in internet performance or line noise drops. If so, isolate the problem device and ensure line filters are in place and working correctly, if required.

Contact your ISP and/or Telephone provider, ask for a line noise check. They can normally check their end and adjust your internet settings to smooth out performance.

You can consider using QoS (Quality of Service) advance settings on your router for shared network, this will let you give higher proirty to games data packets, rather than emails or youtube choking it, etc. It will depend on your router to how this is setup.

If you use DSL then never use a Splitter; the ISP will advise against this and from my experience it just can't work properly without further noise, which will throw off your entire ISP connection at random. More line noise with DSL will mean a poorer connection overall.

When you hookup a DSL modem to your phone jack, this is the line that should be all on it's own without any splitters or filter. However, ensure every jack that is to have a phone on it in the rest of the home has a DSL Line Filter on it. That helps to greatly reduce and seperate Phone noise from the Digital Data Signal for your DSL.

It also helps to use the shortest possible phone line cord when connecting your DSL Modem to the Phone Line Jack. If you should need to run long Ethernet cables, that won't be an issue until those reach beyond 150-300ft or so (can depend on quality of Ethernet cable too); Plenty length for a majority of home sizes. But longer phone cord can mean more noise and interferance.

Do a couple of seperate instance tests on both SpeedTest.net and PingTest.net
When doing the PingTest.net, if you get high jitter, then you should call your ISP and have them narrow down the issue, as that can be faulty modem (either in your home or on their end at your central office) or it could be an issue with the physical lines/jacks in your home, or where your main phone line connects outside at the pole.

with dsl, its best to have the mocem as close to where the phone line enters the house
and put dsl noise filters on everything else
cat5e/6 limits are 100m/300ft and can make it to the router easily
