My connection is generally strong on Discord with a 15ms ping. However, once I start playing games like League of Legends or Roblox, my ping drops significantly, making it difficult to play. It seems the issue might be related to my adapter. I'm considering replacing the antennas, but are there any other ways to improve this without purchasing new equipment?

Internet connection speed doesn't always result in fast response times. You mentioned using WiFi, which can lead to problems during online gaming. Consider the distance between you and the router—being closer usually helps. To reduce lag spikes, using a wired Ethernet connection is often the best solution.

Purchase them now, but be ready to stop if issues arise. The problems we faced were similar, so verify your Ethernet cable’s specs—specifically, is it Cat6? You’ll need to confirm the rated length. As you move further from the router, you’ll require higher-quality cables.

Ping changes from server to server, even within the same game, making it hard to compare across apps or websites. A reading of 15ms on Test-net doesn’t reflect your actual connection speed. Running a Cat5E cable from your router to your PC isn’t feasible.

Copper Ethernet performs at 100 meters in all categories, but the actual maximum speed depends on the cable type.
