WiFi Card?

Hi there, I'm using a D-Link DIR615 router flashed with DD-WRT acting as a client to my EE Bright Box (maybe switch it out for my WR1043ND?). The Bright Box is downstairs whereas the DIR615 is upstairs with my computer, I've got a CAT5 lead running from my DIR615 to my computer to give my computer access to the internet. I get a 23ms ping with this setup as shown in this image:

I'd like to lower my ping if possible. Would switching out the Bright Box for my WR1043ND help? Would switching out my DIR615 for a PCI wireless card help (or maybe even the WR1043ND)? I'd like to switch out my DIR615 so I can actually use 5Ghz dual-band capabilities.

 

What would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Yeah my speed pales in comparison. What you need the lower ping for?

The easiest way to lower ping is to either migrate to 5GHz, use powerline or ethernet.
