Rainbow Six Random high ping
Rainbow Six Random high ping
I've played Rainbow Six Siege for a while now without any problems. Recently, when joining a game, I saw my leaderboard showing a ping over 700. But checking the menu showed only a ping of 39, which matches what it usually says. The server remains unchanged—I'm still using EUS. My setup includes a GTX 1050, Intel Pentium G4560, and 12GB DDR4 RAM, and I haven't experienced any issues before today. Due to this high ping, I was disqualified from the match. An internet speed test indicated a ping over 1ms, and my Discord ping is also quite high. It seems I'm confused because the speed test gave a low ping, while the menu shows a much higher one.
So your not having hardware problem. try going to command prompt and type www.yahoo.com and see what ping you get. Have to be the servers are bunk or far away.
Wow, that adds up to 500. Probably because my parents are watching TV.
those tests will always give you low ping since they use the nearest server to test your connection, for example a local server gives me 70 ping and an international server gives me over 600 which is why I can't play any online games since the servers are always in the US or european countries
also wifi adds lag even if you stand in the way between the router and receiver or if you put something made of aluminum/steel or a wall inbetween too
TV shouldn't affect your speed if you have a coax connection there is a splitter that, well, splits the TV and internet signals and sends each one to its place, tv or cablemodem
My parents are watching Netflix on the TV. I believe this would result in a minimal delay because they're using an Ethernet connection.
You experience frequent high pings since QoS isn't set on your router, causing new requests to use all available bandwidth without limits, leading to chaos. You might set up the configuration and allocate a specific amount of Kbps/Mbps per device to prevent this issue.
No wait, help! I am the only one using the internet rn, and my ping is back up to 1k!
There seems to be another entity utilizing your network, likely a download activity. You can review your PCs' download and network usage through the Task Manager. If you have Wi-Fi, ensure it's protected with a password, and then inspect every other device in your home to confirm no unauthorized updates or data transfers are occurring.
