Short interruptions that can be resolved briefly
Hello, I'm dealing with a problem where ping spikes appear after a full system shutdown. I've shared two screenshots: one showing the issue post-shutdown, and another indicating improvement after switching Ethernet ports. It seems changing the port from 1Gbps to 2.5Gbps resolves the problem. The situation has been stable for about eight days, suggesting the shutdown might be affecting the fix. Your router is an ISP-provided device, and you're limited in changing it due to IPTV requirements. Your nephew, who shares the same infrastructure but lives farther away with an older router, doesn't have the same issue. Could anyone suggest a permanent solution?
The 29-47ms latency is perfectly acceptable. The game runs smoothly. Avoid being the ping-boy—this annoying forum member who’s posted around 40 times about ping.
I experienced this problem with my new PC immediately after performing a clean Windows setup and installing drivers from ASUS. Even when using the latest Intel and Realtek drivers from their website, the issue persisted. I plan to test a new router soon and will post the outcomes.
Older router remained unchanged; it was identical to before. I purchased a USB-C to Ethernet adapter for $10, connected it, and it functions perfectly now. I suspect the outdated ISP router has connectivity problems with newer network cards. I tested it on my 8-year-old laptop, and the ping remained stable as it is today. Thanks for your assistance.
You're wondering if the difference between 29ms and 30ms matters, or if it's just a minor detail. If the fluctuations are more pronounced, it might be related to your router. Overloaded or outdated router tables can lead to problems, and cycling ports could trigger a system refresh. Try running Ipconfig /release and then Ipconfig /renew to see if they behave similarly when you switch ports. If that resolves the issue, the problem likely lies with your router's performance.
the 29-30ms ping matched what I needed. Eventually I discovered my fiber connection could be very reliable, which I improved with this USB-C to Ethernet adapter. I plan to continue using it. Perhaps when my ISP rolls out an update for the router, I’ll check if that fixes stability on the built-in cards.
