I'm getting big PING

I need some computer nerds here. I'm beginning to face big PING's on my laptop. Is there any reason for it? I think it's my internet. Is there any way to improve the PING?

Better internet

I wonder does it has something with distance from my internet router? My internet router is 2 rooms away and I'm getting 3 out of 4 lines ( http://prntscr.com/bwmrnw )

Try an ether-link cable.

How big is this ping

Dunno is this a troll post or not, but anyways. I average around 90ms, but it often gets to couple of hundred ms, sometimes even few thousand. I used to have like 40 ms.

No, honestly serious. I get pretty high ping as well. Sadly I get packet loss as well . Shit sucks man

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

On a serious note, it seems like you are on a Wireless Network which means there a be few causes.

1) The signal strength, as you move further from the access point; your signal strength  decreases. So yes, distance from the access point could be a factor.

2) Interference, you may or may not be aware that other appliances which broadcast electronic signals can impede your wireless network. If your access point is surrounded by other household electronics it could very well need to be relocated.

3) Network strain, Latency can also be caused by multiple users on the same network or background processes eating up bandwidth. Check with other people that use your network (if there are others that use your network) and see if they have any problems with the network's performance

3) Your network card or settings; While unlikely as problems of this nature tend to cause a lack of connectivity altogether, you may be experiencing poor performance by being logged under the wrong network or have some damage on your Network Interface Card but addressing this this should only be used as a after you have tried everything else.

My advice; Either move your machine or access point. I believe your dip in network performance is more than like caused by a lack of signal strength or potential interference. If moving things doesn't work I'd recommend setting up a wired network (although this may require assistance from your ISP) or alternatively you can contact your ISP to see if your settings and such are correct or if there are any potential problems on their end, only after having exhausted all other possibilities should you take it in to be looked at by a professional.

Here's ms in my room.

And this is in my living room where my internet router is placed.

But still, I was getting 40 ms few days ago on average.



This could be very possible. I have TV cabel right next to my internet router. My internet router is also acting as telephone and tv router.

There is total 4 mobile phones, 1 laptop and 1 tablet connected to the network. So yeah, I'll check with others how is network performing. 

Well, 90 ms ain't too bad, but it's weird because I used to have 40-50. 




My family uses it only. I don't like cable idea because I don't want to be next to my television.

Weird, seems like slow ms is only on one quiz game I'm playing on Facebook. And no I'm not downloading anything.
