Gamers Guide to Lowering Your Ping Print E-mail
Friday, 01 February 2008
This guide for the hardcore online gamers who always have a problem with lagging during multi-player games. The big question is "How do I lower my ping?"
It's actually not that hard.
Stop all programs that might be UPLOADING to the internet. This is torrent programs, chat programs and all those automatic update type of stuff or programs that constantly communicate with the internet. There are many programs running in the background that talk to the internet. Turn them off. Next, make sure your router - switch - computer connection is fast. Wireless adapters are slow!

You should also monitor your other computers to see if one of them is lagging you. Also if you insist on using wireless, make sure you don't have digital phones at home that run at 2.4ghz frequency. Also if you do have VOIP phones, try not to use them while you are gaming.
