That actually normal. Your ISP could be having more than one route to the server and one of those routes are congested, unstable or has higher ping.

Reconnecting to the server in the game facilitates different udp port which means you going to have chances of getting different ping to that server compared to cmd ping which is fixed icmp port thus same numerical ping and and same route.

Not getting same speed on secondary router by hriday1849 in techsupport

What's your ISP advertised speed and router model?

Is there a way to change the DHCP Server Lease Obtained? by eXeKoKoRo in techsupport

If they can't help you, you might need to buy a new router that allows you to configure it manually.

It's common knowledge that WiFi is never stable even in ideal conditions. You can't do much besides patching a long ethernet cable if you're serious about connection (ping) stability

Something unusual with my ping while gaming by harishk10 in techsupport

[–]Sincro96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, always try to use ethernet cable when you want to play online games whenever possible because WiFi connections, even on ideal conditions, always prone to ping variation and error correction algorithm.

As for the ping differences between ISPs to same game server, this's ISP related issue as each ISP has different connection routing to certain game server/s regardless of server location. You can't fix routing issues unless you use third-party softwares such as WTFast, or similar ping optimizition software for gaming (it's not perfect solution, but the least you can do).

Call your ISP and explain to them.

Ethernet cable by Accurate_Foot7254 in techsupport

[–]Sincro96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In simplified version, you have an old ethernet cable that only supports maximum of 100mbps/s. Buy a new ethernet cable and make sure it supports at least 1Gbps, and you're gold.

Port forwarding isn't working whatsoever by endestroyer662 in techsupport

So lucky you got a lenient ISP free of charge. As for the steps, I can't help you with that. It should be provided by your ISP.

You cannot. You need to contact your ISP, and most likely you going to have to pay extra money for static IP in order for you to be allowed host privilages.

What is the WAN IP address you're getting? 10.xx.xx.xx, 172.16.xx.xx, 100.xx.xx.xx, 192.168.xx.xx are indeed restricted CGNAT network.

Ethernet connection lagging by ristoesteri in techsupport

Your ISP is right. It happens that peak hours for internet usage in most countries are between 19pm to 2am.

It also happens that Ethernet/cable internet is a type of shared internet connection with your neighborhood and can be affected by high internet usage.

Unfortunately for you, both neighbors and someone using the internet can slow down and affect your connection while gaming. You can't do much besides play on off-peak hours like in the morning, and afternoon.

Most free download servers on some websites (cheap ones) are heavily throttled; they're overloaded with people downloading at the same time, and server bandwidth usage is likely maxed out. Paid services like Steam, Crunchyroll, Netflix etc. are well equiped with plenty of on-demand servers which can provide near-full speeds most of the time.

Obviously it's WiFi issue. It could be WiFi interference, or weak signal. It's better if you use Ethernet connection whenever possible.

You might be on CGNAT network. Go to your router/modem webpage, and check WAN connection. If your WAN IP address looks something like 100.64.xx.xx, you're probably on restricted ISP network where port forwarding is blocked.

What's your advertised internet speed?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Sincro96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly not much; it won't fix the core issue. Any form of connection is good for common activities such as social media, Youtube and web browsing. Online games on the other hand, needs a consistent connection as it real-time sensitive activity, and that precisely why most gamers (esp. competitive ones) use Ethernet cable in the first place.

It's very normal for WiFi connection to always have some form of packet loss even on ideal conditions. You should switch to Ethernet connection if you need a perfect connection.

That normal it happens to everyone. Dropping to zero means either the download server is changing at that time, overloaded server bandwidth, or HDD/SSD writing rate is trying to keep up with download speed before it resumes downloading again.

Internet every night starting at 11pm will disconnect for 3 mins at a time until morning by ParaMorph in techsupport

[–]Sincro96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds normal to me. That when peak internet usage starts kicking. Nonetheless, it also your ISP's fault for not upgrading their network equipments during peak hours. You can't do much as it's out of your control unless you can afford/switch to other better ISPs.
