Question about my ping to the router itself.


Recommended Posts

When running trace routes, I don't know what is considered good and what is considered bad. I consistently see one or two RTT's on the very first hop(the r1) above 10 ms. This seems high to me but I really don't know, thought I'd post here for an answer.

Disregard trace routes because they are not that accurate . Use ping option. It is your best bet. I believe the administrators will be removing the trace route option. Maybe they can speak on this.

I used a third party trace route app.

 

My computer is down right now so I know this may not be accurate, just wondering what good numbers are.

1 r1.lan (192.168.88.1) 6.495ms 24.540ms 28.151ms

 

I also have concern with hop 6 but that is my ISP, sometimes it runs high sometimes it runs normal, the traceroute I just did (same as above) reads this:

 

6 ae5---0.cor01.chcg.il.frontier.net (74.40.2.205) 20.99ms 130.015 ms 139.984 ms

 

After that all the other hops drop down to sub 30ms

Had to leave the house, I'll test a hard wired connection when I get back.

 

Ok - I think the wireless is the issue for that :) If I ping my router from my laptop (which is on wireless) then the ping fluctuates between 3-8ms, so not much less than yours :)

On the hard wired they are all under .5ms. Sorry, didn't know wifi affected it that much.

 

On ping diagnostics I can only ever get a ping rating of "good". Anyway to improve this?

Yes wireless can add a little bit on which is one of the reasons it is recommended to play on a hard wired connection :) If you do then don't worry about the ping from your laptop to the Duma.

Not really. Good is still good though, lol. You shouldn't find that your games are made any worse because of it really.

Idient want to start a new topic. I saw someone post about disabling IPv6, do I need to do that?

 

tbh, its only really necessary if your speeds are > than 50mbps :)
