Hey folks,
So I've been having latency issues when playing games like LoL but for the past week or so its gotten absolutely horrible up to the point where the game becomes 100% unplayable. I've already tried using a powerline ethernet kit since im in the second floor (My room is right above the router) to no avail. I have pinged our default gateway while on Ethernet and the results were perfect, same pretty much goes when pinging the game server. However when connected to our WiFi, even when standing right next to the router, the download speed drops from 40 mb/s to 5 mb/s even all the way down to 0.5 mb/s sometimes (I know wifi is inferior to ethernet but the difference shouldnt be this abyssmal right?). I have done several ping tests while leaving my laptop idling and while playing both on Wlan and Lan and some traceroutes too.
My laptops wireless adapter is a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x.
I also did some testing on my Huawei 3 and from the looks of it I get better results when pinging the default gateway. When pinging over Wireless Lan, are the values when pinging my default gateway still supposed to be 1 ms or less? I also tried playing mobile games and I ended up having a lot less lagg on mobile games but still had massive ping spikes when playing league. Ive been told by LoL's player support that it might be an ISP issue but while on Ethernet everything seems to be fine which should mean that the issue is on my side or am I mistaken?
Can anyone help me interpret most of my results and help me solve this problem please?
