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.

I think I might need to handle this myself but should I just do it myself and drill holes or should I call professionals? I want to understand the cost. Also, since my family is renting, we need approval from them.

You can easily run a cable between you and the router with minimal delay. For renters, avoid altering the exterior of your home—just run a cable through it.

You can ask your landlords for approval before making changes to the exterior, but you should use specialized outdoor cables instead of regular Cat6.

Here’s a revised version of your message:
"Thank you for the assistance. What tools should I use so it doesn’t appear poorly or cause issues?"
