why ping so high

[Gentlekatt]

Hello, today i got new internet speed test shows good results but somewhy my ping at cs go is 100 and more, itried 10 different servers and same my download speed reaches only 7 max and average 4 mb, main modem is at my cousins house that is about 2-5 meters from my house in my house i use netgear wifi extender if i would get this router ASUS RT-AC56U would my downloads and ping would be better?

Well Valve doesn't run their servers off of Speed Test servers. Speed Test choses the closest server to you, and that's why the ping is so low. Valve servers can be anywhere in the world.

Well dude.... The amount of distance that signal has to travel obviously slows it down. 

 

The only decently cheap way, is too go wired.

[PercySavageEG]

It is because of your distance from the server itself, it is not a problem of your internet speed or the AC that you are using but maybe you should consider going wired

[KayTees]

Plug a splitter into your modem, then plug 2 ethernet cables, one cable from modem to the router , another cable from modem directly to PC. Theres a huge difference a direct connection from the modem is better than Modem>Router>Ethernet Cable to PC. But as all these folks said, you can pick different servers on Speed Test, no clue where Valve's CSGO servers are.

its due to the distance between the moden and the WiFi router, i recommend get a ethernet connection rather than wifi

The problem is not on your end.

 

Getting a new router won't improve anything.

how do i get ethernet and please guys tell me how could i improove it without wire

guys i cant get wired cuz i would have to drill hole trough his room wall and get really long wire and 

[Gentlekatt]

Don't know what some of you guys here are smoking, but his speedtest result is showing 2ms from his PC to the test server. That and a 90+Mbps up/down proves there is nothing wrong with his wifi connection.

 

The vast majority of his game latency is between his ISP and the game server.

are ther eanyways i could make my downloads faster?

Where do you live, and what internet speeds do you pay for?

[Gentlekatt]

i live in lithuania and i pay for 100 mbs but as i said im usin wireless like netgear wifi esxtender get internet from main modem at my cousins house and then transilate trough wire

[MrStraightface]

Not only are you not wired, but you're connected to WIFI located elsewhere via an extender.  You pretty much spelled out the problem.  

 

The fix is to get your own internet or go wired & find a CS server closer to you.

That speedtest is from the same PC you get those CS:GO pings on?

[Gentlekatt]

yes

can go wired and cant get my own internet cuz they doesnt have hole in a graound to reach my house i explained why i cant go wired above

Sorry homie.  It's like you're asking how to drive faster, but you can't press the gas pedal.

[MariusJS]

yes

Then you can basically ignore 99% of the posts here!

 

The problem is not at your side, it might be that your ISP has a bad connection to the steam server, you can try to change the steam location in the steam settings to Netherlands or Germany, maybe even Sweden

ok so today i streamed with 3300 bitrate and i got max ping 40 which was really good but i still want to make my download good so im thinking if router would help if its dual band and 5 ghz

[Gentlekatt]

You're just going to waste your money...

you think it wont help me?

[Gentlekatt]

Your Speedtest results shows no problem with latency, and you're getting over 90Mbps out of your 100Mbps subscription.

 

Just so you know your latency won't go below 1ms and you will never reach 100Mbps up/down.

 

For what you stand to gain (which you might not get at all) do you think spending on a new router is worth it?

 

I you want to use a 5Ghz dual band router, your wifi adapter has to also work on the 5Ghz band.

but its strange why i get only 2mb download speed when im actualy downloading something and i want to up that a little bit

[Gentlekatt]

well i get up to 7 mb on steam so idk like im missing something when some streamers get 11 mb with worse internet

[MariusJS]

Steam counts in MB, which means that you will have to take the number and time it with 8 to get Mb (megabit), so 11MB on steam, means that they have 88Mb internet

 

If you think wifi is the problem, hook up your PC or laptop to the router/modem with ethernet and test your speeds again.

 

You can buy a one million dollar wifi router and it won't beat a good old ethernet cable.

 

I'm unfollowing this thread now, so good luck with your 'issue'

For 1 Million dollars, I will setup a wireless network that does more than a gigabit cabled network!

i dont understand what you mean by saying about steam and thats not solution

[MariusJS]

I mean MB (megabyte) and Mb (megabit) is two different things, and steam measures in MB and Speedtest in Mb
