Brand new gaming pc with high ping out of nowhere.

[agortner.wolfie]

I recently got a new gaming pc; a ROG GR8-II. Everything was working extremely smoothly for a couple weeks. High frames, low ping when playing Overwatch. Just what I needed. All of a sudden yesterday I log in and find my ping won't drop below 100 and climbs to 300 at times. I looked for a few solutions and uninstalled the ROG Gamefirst IV program to see if it could be the issue. No change. I've restarted my Centurylink modum more times than I can count. Is it my new computer? Or am I being throttled by my ISP? I play every day. Please help!

Go to devmgmt.msc and tell me what the network adapter(s) are.

First off, we need to figure out if it is your computer or your wifi. Go to http://www.speedtest.net/ on your pc (with the issue) and on another device on the same network. A laptop, cell phone, or tablet should work just fine. Run the test on both devices and record the numbers for ping, download, and upload. After that we can go from there.

@okcnaline Heres a screenshot I took since there seems to be an strange amount. I have no clue what the WAN Miniports are but I don't think they're needed on Windows 10 if I remember correctly.

Is the game rubberbanding?

Is the game rubberbanding?

Yes. One minute it sitting at 120, the next it'll spike up to 200-300 and my shots are delayed.

However, I did unplug from my ethernet and the ping seems to be stabilized around 50. Perhaps its my ethernet adapter that is the issue. Still troubling.

I guess you can buy a new router with AC band to make the download/upload faster but otherwise I guess you should stick with wireless. Intel's wireless chipsets are reliable but I haven't touched their ethernet yet.
