Just recently got a new wireless set-up after I put my new computer together, and now have it in my house to where the netgear modem is wired to my new computer with a wireless card in the old one.
Anyways, the internet seems to run great, and the only issue is with online games. It seems that for whatever reason my ping is much higher on online games. This has stopped me from being able to play in lots of my favorite servers. Now what I used to do with my old setup if I ever saw abnormally high ping was change my IP (using ipconfig/release, renew) and restart the computer. The ping would be back to normal afterwards. I have tried said method with the netgear modem and it still doesn't change the IP.
So what I was wondering is how do I go about changing the IP to this new Netgear modem? Is there some other problem that's causing abnormally high pings?
Thanks.
