Internet Ping Problems

[TehJim]

So I'm having a problem with my Ping when i'm playing Games, for example this the game it really affects, I get almost constant lag stuttering, not frame drops but internet issues. However my Ping is constantly in the 20-50ms range. Other things like downloading and browsing the internet is fine but its just games that I have a problem with, I am using a TP-LINK TL-WN851ND 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter.

Many thanks

I'd recommend you to check your ping again at speedtest.net. Check it and type it here.

That is a very good Ping actually, I'd think it could be a port forwarding issue. Have you set your router to automatically open network ports via UPNP?

How do I configure that?

The servers on the game's end may be under heavy load and receiving lots of traffic.

That definitely isn't the case since all my games have this problem

I actually don't know how it's done in a different router than the one I have, what kind of router do you own?

I would say it's an issue with the ports on your router. Try turning off things like firewalls and anti-viruses and see if that helps

I'm not from the US, so I can't help you with this specific router but I'm quite sure that the port forwarding is your problem. I had the same problem a couple of years ago when I had an older router that could not properly route ports.

So I should Port Forward?
