Subject: Ping too high, Computer help needed!

I assume everyone here is 14 years old until proven otherwise. -bobcast

So I recently got a new PC and I set it up in my room and everything but the only problem was connecting it to the internet. I hooked up a wireless network adapter I found and got access to my router downstairs. The only problem is, my ping is floating around 200. How do I fix this? Getting a wired connection is almost impossible.
Should I buy a new wireless network adapter? If so, which one?
Wut do flood?

Try deleting some of the Ping files. That should lower it a bit.

200 ping is roughly average for a wireless connection, especially one on a different floor of the building entirely...

Well I might have to resort to bringing it downstairs then, but I really don't want to.
It's not a problem for browsing obviously, but when you have such a high ping people start kicking you from servers and whatnot. Don't have the problem with my laptop though. Probably 'cus the wireless is built in...

Anything I can do with that? Maybe connect through there?

At distances over 50 miles as well. Preferably around 500.

Make sure anything connected to the internet is off on your computer, as well as any devices in your house that you can disable. If your router is -blam!-, then yes, upgrade. Other than that, it's probably just a crappy ISP you have, but I don't know who you have.

All right it is probably a list of things that are causing high ping rates. I'll list a few things.

First, make sure the computer is updated with all the latest drivers and windows updates.

Second, for whatever game you are playing you need to find that games ports and allow them outbound and inbound through your modem/router and computer firewall or else you will get high ping rates.

That's just some beginning steps. I don't know your pc's specifics and if that will be a problem or not. If the hardware isn't high enough then any intensive graphical games like Skyrim, Crysis, etc won't play well.

Not really, only if your upload speed is still dial up.

My stepdad acquired this modem from the cable company he works for, he told me that it is possible to hack the card within it if you are skilled enough. The most recent modem only maxes at around 100mpbs because I was told it is illegal to go any higher. The last one I had only lasted around a week because the damn thing literally steals bandwidth.

Now excuse me as I fire up my computer.

I was told he have had this for quite some time, just not available for the public until recently. Companies such as Verizon are releasing packages with upload and download speeds up to 130MBPS, which aren't really needed unless you're running a server of some sort.

You would only download as fast as the host/server would upload.

The fastest I received from steam was 6mb/s
