Frustrated with high ping in gaming? Is it your router?
Let's discuss how to quickly determine if your equipment is responsible for high ping in gaming. Often, we suspect the router, the cable, the network card, the operating system, or other factors. However, many times, the issue lies with the internet provider or even the game server itself, or the physical distance.
In 99% of cases, if you have a 1ms ping with your router, the issue is not on your end. You can restart the router if you're not sure, but unfortunately, in many cases, this doesn't solve anything either. In the video, I discuss what you can do to try to reduce the ping.
