Reducing ping or lag when I use my internet?

When I play computer games such as league of legends, my ping shoots up to about 400ms. I believe it to be caused by the Xbox and wii in my household streaming Netflix movies and usage of Wi-Fi on an iPod and iPhone. Is this problem caused by my modem, router, Internet speed, or ISP. Or do I simply just take turns where only one person can use Netflix at a time etc.

As another LoL player: D I feel the frustration: D You should login to your modem and see if you can prioritize traffic only for your computer. Like I have done: p (Don't tell my flatmate lol)

Do you have "QoS" enabled throughout your Network?
This prioritizes packet 'send' function.

You also might want to try this:
Test all your relevant network stats, but pay particular attention to "network buffer measurements" to see what it is.

The results will give the entire Network, which includes your ISP, so although your router may be just fine, it could be the ISP config's that are mis-adjusted or could be tweaked. Many's the time a person complains to the ISP, and they flatly deny any responsibility, without actually examining their configs.

Yup when multiple device using internet at the same time, the ping time will increase. There are only one connection. Any additional device will increase ping time

what you can do is use a VPN service. It will create a tunnel between your computer and the server, hence provide better ping time

  • Wi-fi on laptop causing high ping? When the wi-fi is connected on the laptop and i'm watching videos it causes the broadband wired connection on the computer to freeze and shoot the ping to 200+. I have tested other wi-fi devices such as iphone and tablet and it has no impact on the connection, stays at 35-40 ping, it is only when the laptop is connected and watching videos it causes the problem. Any Ideas?

  • Why are modern digital cameras still stuck with the problem of shutter lag? The iPhone has overcome this problem; incidentally, the iPhone's camera is terrible due to the amount of bright eye from the flash aside from the disgusting colour clarity.
