How to reduce ping problems?

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

So yeah if I play a game, like League of Legends and I'm downloading something at the same time or my dad is watching videos and my ping goes up to like 200-300. How can I avoid this? Higher download bandwith, better routor or what? What are the solutions and cause of this?

I never really download when playing games but it's an example of a problem, how is it solvable (except ofcourse stopping the download) ?

You seriously are not being helpful at all and not giving any actual usable advise just please stop responding.

 

One way to fix this is to get a router with a Quality of Service. This will set up priority for games so they get the packets first and put streaming or downloading as a secondary priority so it it get's less attention and doesn't slow down your gaming session.

Another way this could be fixed is by possibly getting a faster internet package. It seems that you don't have the bandwidth to be able to use multiple devices without one of them being affected.

Thanks that exactly what I was asking for, a solution. Yeah I think the problem is the routor it's not really good.... so basically I need better bandwith. Thanks again.
