Hi, for the last 2-3 weeks my ping has gone from 70ms to 120-140ms consistently.im wondering if something has changed or there is a test i can do.

 

I did some ping tests as per the ping help tab. Results below

Hi @Kurt16 . When doing this testing, you should use an ethernet computer. Wifi connection can cause slower or varying response times, either due to the nature of wifi or interference from other networks.

 

The address 127.0.0.1 is an internal address in the computer operating system and will always be fast.

You can ping your router's LAN ip address (usually 192.168.1.1). Should be about 1 ms response time. 

My response time to 203.12.160.35 (TPG's DNS) is 5 ms.

My response time to tpg.com.au is 5 ms. You should do   tracert tpg.com.au   command to see where delays are occurring.

Regarding your game MW2, you need to know the host name or ip address of the game server to see if delays are occurring somewhere else in the network.

Hey @david64 ,

 

i am cuurrently connected via a hardwired ethernet cable, so shouldnt have any dramas there.

 

internlly i get >1ms to the router so that seems good.
