Hi everyone,
I am new at Tom'sHardware so I want to apologize if this post was already made and also, I am not native english speaker so I may commit some mistakes.
Well, I was having some issues regarding to internet but now it turned a bit incomprehensible .
Just to let you know: - My PC is in my room, my mother's pc is in the study and the router is in the hall.
- My room is at 1 meter from the Study and 2 and a half from the router.
- I checked my router and nobody is connecting to our wifi (there is always the same devices, so I assume nobody is stealing wifi from us)
Well, the point is that I have one of those small usb wi-fi adapters (the cheapest one you can buy on Amazon) and my mother has her usb wifi adapter called MEROSS with an antenna.
Most of the times, when I play games the ping stable between 40ms and 60ms, sometimes it has spikes that goes to 300 but it is usually happens few times.
If the ping is to high for a longer time that I expected I usually connect the ethernet cable (that goes through the corridor till the router) but it actually barely fix the problem, so I decided to play with the wi-fi anyways unless I want to tryhard.
Well, here it goes my incomprehensible situation:
Today I decided to change my wifi adapter by my mother's one, because hers has that antenna and is suppose it will go faster/better.
And after doing a Speedtest with both it is waaaaay better as I expected (with my wifi adapter I have 31 mbps [sad] and with my mother's I can reach the 200 mbps) so I was like "Dude, You made it, prepare to play in the new era".
So after a while I decided to play a match at LoL.... and... I can't barely connect, I am having 3k ms, then I tried with another game and it went exactly the same, I cannot barely connect, and yet the mbps is waaaay better.
Do you know why is it happening?
I hope you could understand what I wrote.
Have a nice day and thx in advance.
Marc
