Re: very high latency without dropped packets

This is the average of 10 test in the past month. This is through Ookla and have very little knowledge with latency/ping other than the basics . Hello, @Envyme33 High latency, commonly referred to as ping, can be quite disruptive, especially during online activities that require real-time interaction like gaming or video conferencing. Here are some steps you can take to improve your latency: Restart Your Router and Devices: Sometimes, simply rebooting your router and the devices you're using can resolve latency issues. Use an Ethernet Cable: A wired connection is generally more stable and faster than Wi-Fi. If possible, connect your device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. Close Unused Background Applications: Applications running in the background can consume bandwidth and increase latency. Make sure to close any unnecessary programs. Remove Unused Devices from Your Network: Too many devices connected to your network can cause congestion and high latency. Update Your Device: Ensure that your device's firmware and network drivers are up to date. Connect to a Different Server: If you're playing a game or using an application that allows you to choose a server, select one that is geographically closer to you. Use a VPN: Sometimes, using a VPN can help reduce latency, especially if your ISP is routing traffic in a suboptimal way. Check for External Interference: Other electronic devices, such as microwaves and cordless phones, can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Optimize Your Router Settings: Tweaking settings like QoS (Quality of Service) can prioritize traffic from your gaming or streaming applications. Remember, while a good download and upload speed are important, they don't always guarantee low latency. Best Regard, angela6839Visto0likes0Comentarios
