Get better internet?
Hello, I would like my internet to improve. When I play games I sit next to my wifi router and have a LAN cable connected. My internet isn't bad, but I just want it to be better and for me to get a better ping. Is there anything else I can do or buy?
Depends on which line and provider you own.
In the end, the closer you live to the game server, the better the connection, otherwise also a question of the lines in the house, whether city or village, etc.
Having more than one reasonable provider and matching line to be connected to Lan (Cat6 at least) and having a reasonable parking space for the router cannot do as a private person.
Alternatively, you can still play on the monitor/TV in the settings or adjust the settings correctly in the game.
The easiest thing is to place the router as high as possible in the room and as close as possible. So best mount to the ceiling bordering on the wall.
Otherwise you will learn how much bandwidth is available in the house. Sometimes you can only max. 250 Mbit/s, sometimes only 100. Sometimes 500 Mbit/s. Maybe you even have glass fibers in the house.
Just call your internet provider and ask nicely about 🙂
so that the signal through the Ethernet cable better slides down!!? :-DDD
I forgot he’s connected to LAN😂. But still helps, especially on other devices that then have Wi-Fi.
because you’re right, I was just about the fact that the PC then connects to the 2.4 GHz network to test whether the reception through two walls is better, which is usually the case. It is therefore primarily a test to compare the two connections over two rooms with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
I would never separate the two channels in person. Usually it works perfectly that the device itself selects the better frequency.
I have been thinking
🙂 if the radio signal has to be switched off (or disconnected) by thick or several walls … it also makes sense to turn off (or disconnect) the 5Ghz network and to try out a connection via the 2.4Ghz network
Would intress me what you have for a genus
Especially with cable internet or radio, the ping is what you probably can’t do much.
With regard to connection to the router in itself, if it is gigabit, and all this is so fun, there is no potential in this area. at least not an essential one.
If you have an ancient cucumber of WLAN routers, the replacement of the device might be possible. but usually do not bring the world.
How high is your ping?
The ping is e.g. by running programs or dowloas in the background.
The right server also makes a huge difference
Bravo! the first to use advice, from someone who obviously has already dealt with the topic & knows!
But you could, for example, change your server using a VPN. But this is quite complicated and hardly brings any improvement. In addition, some programs remember and do not make it as desired.
You could also install ckoudflare and set your DNS server to 1.1.1.1. Can also improve the ping a bit.
Have a 1gb glass fiber line and still have a ping between 4-15 sometimes. Depending on the game also significantly more since the servers are simply garbage on which the game is running.
Find the comments to improve the ping by LAN that you should pack up the router also very interesting. Maybe they know what we don’t know yet?
but you have to remember… this is at the expense of the upload. after all, the data that are sent to the internet must be sent up.

P.S.:
so can e.g. (very often) double NAT (e.g. 2 routers) or Repeater/Expander with own (Master) DHCP be responsible for longer and also strongly fluctuating times in the network
“install” you don’t have to install directly (I suppose you want to build a VPN!?) – for the first time – if at all – to deposit something in the router the DNS server (also for IPv6)
the (band)BREITE is actually as good as never the problem for the ping times, but rather that the individual data packets are slid cleanly and directly through the route #trace and transferred to the individual transfer points cleanly
but without the answers to my requests (s.o.) this is all coffee setready
😉 He overlooked or forgotten it (see above)
But I find the thought more than funny how the signal through the Ethernet cable becomes faster as on a slide to the PC/Playstation:-DD
If you already use a LAN cable and sits right next to your router, you already have the best basic requirements for a stable connection. To further optimize the ping times and internet connection, you can try or consider the following things:
1. Optimize routers:
Make sure the router is on the latest firmware stand. An update can improve performance and stability.
Configure Quality of Service (QoS) in the router settings. This allows you to give priority to your gaming traffic and minimize delays.
Check if your router supports gaming features (e.g. low latency gaming routers).
Two. Better hardware:
If your current router is older, you could upgrade to a gaming router. These are specially designed for low latencies and optimized gaming (e.g. Asus ROG Rapture or Netgear Nighthawk).
A high-quality Cat 6a or Cat 7 LAN cable can bring minimal advantages, especially with large data transmissions and low-noise connections.
3. Internet providers check:
Check if your current internet rate offers the lowest ping time. Some providers offer special gaming plans with optimized latency.
Ask your provider about whether Fastpath is available (especially for DSL connections). This reduces latency.
4. Optimize DNS servers:
A faster DNS server can improve response times. Change to a free and fast DNS such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1).
Five. minimize background processes:
Ensure that on your PC or console no programs in the background will drag bandwidth (downloads, streaming or automatic updates).
6. Testing ping and stability:
Use tools like PingPlotter or Speedtest.net to check whether there are problems at certain nodes. If the ping remains too high with your provider, a change may help.
7. A gaming adapter or switch:
A gaming network switch can ensure that gaming data has priority in multiple connected devices.
If you’ve tried everything and still don’t notice any improvement, the bottleneck could be with your internet provider. A change to a low latency provider or a higher
n Upload/download feed could then be the solution.
Without analysing what your problem is or whether there is one at all, you can hardly answer
At least my glass ball strikes with such information
You have to look for the right provider and make a contract there.

And who says that other providers are changing this information
