I was hoping somebody could help me. I live in Queensland, Australia and I just go connected to NBN finally! But I have a major issue my ping is really bad 60 if I'm lucky and then I get spikes up to 250 ping so I cannot play Overwatch ever and Battlefront 2 is just painful. I was wondering if I could run a wire outside my house and drill a few holes in the wall to just get some Ethernet. Can anyone help me with this. 

 

Another question if I got a Mesh WiFi System would that improve my ping or make it worse??

 

My router is so far away and I only get 1 bar with WiFi on my PC and nothing on my consoles. all my devices are in my room and I cannot move my setup because of family reasons. 

 

If anyone can help or suggest some steps or websites or videos anything would be greatly appreciated.

If you can definitely just run a cable. Between you and the router you'll have a <1ms ping. If you're renting you may be best not modifying the outside of the house but snaking a cable though it.

@Windows7ge@Ultrasnoop So just run like a 80m CAT 6 Ethernet cable around the outside of the house and drill a wall where the router is and where my room is?

If you can get your landlords permission to modify the outside of the house then yes that's an option but you won't want to use just any Cat6 cable you'll need cable designed to be used outside.

@Windows7ge Thanks for the help. do you know what sort of tools I will need i don't want it to look awful or mess something up 

About 3 years ago LTT made a video on how to do this:

but if you don't own the property I can't recommend going this route.
