Hi, I've been playing Dota2 for months in my house until this bad series of "pings" came and I suddenly could not play anymore. In those good times, the ping was only like 100-130ms but now it amounts to 250-350ms. We all know that lower ping gives us an edge in gaming.
I found some solution to these problem. One is resetting your modem. The only downside to this is that it takes 5 min to reset my modem and every time my modem grabs a bad IP I have to restart it, which takes considerable amount of time. Second is going Ethernet. Instead of the route (Modem ➔Router➔Computer) I skipped the Router. This gives me the option of doing the cmd command "ipconfig/release" and "ipconfig/renew". The problem is I can't go ethernet all the time because there are several laptop users here they need to use wireless connection.
I have done ipconfig/release command with my router on but it seems the wan IP does not seem to get restarted. So my question is, can I reset my wan IP with my router on other than the above stated options? I really want to play without having a BAD IP. Thanks!
