What is the best setup for my configuration?for fast gaming ping response my ping is for now is 3ms to 20ms in speedtest.net

What is the best setup for my configuration?
my current setup is like this;

(A) fiber optic cable ->(B)modem ->(C) router -> (D)30 meter(98.4252 foot) cat 6 cable to my bedroom -> (E)router ->(F)my PC , ps4,laptop
So do I replace (E) with switch or keep the router for fast gaming ping response my ping is for now is 3 ms to 20 ms in speedtest.net

thanks for the help

Yes, replace E with a switch. Be sure to get a GB Ethernet one too.

It will likely make no difference at all.

Obviously if the router you call E is connected to your PC via wireless then you have no choice but to leave the router.

I will assume you are connected to the device E via a cable and you are using this as a AP rather than a router. In this case you actually already have a switch. There lan ports in the router are connected directly together and do not pass into the router part of the device. In many devices there are separate router chips and switch chips. Some of the more advanced devices put these on the same physical chip but they still act as 2 devices.

Still it likely makes no difference even if you put 50 switches in the path. The time to pass though equipment inside your house is tiny compared to the latency once you leave your house since that is mostly based on distance.

Speedtest measurements actually mean nothing when it comes to determining game play. When you get ping times as low as you have it means you are testing to a server in the same city as you. You may even be testing to a server on the same ISP. Say you live in india and are accessing servers in the USA. A test to a speedtest server in your local city will in no way predict the latency you get in a game.

^Well said.

but in (C) the ping speed is 0ms to 2ms
so what happen in the middle

Maybe a switch would be the answer. Maybe your router under performs.

mohamed8989 :

The ping/traceroute tool is lying to you. There is time involved for the processors on both the pc you are running this on as well as the router to create the response. Both the router and the PC have other things to be doing and if they are busy at the moment ping packets are being processed the will delay responding. This does not mean the data did not travel into the buffers on the devices it just means the processor choices to delay looking at them.

Pretty much this is the same reason the ingame ping times do not come close to ping time you see using the ping command. The ones the game uses also includes the overhead the game server has since it really isn't a ping command. It is greatly influenced by delays internal to the server...which is actually a good thing since the ingame ping represents how well the complete game responds rather than just the network connection.

^You know your networks. +1 for you my friend.
