So I am quite confused,
I just recently got my new computer off of CyberPowerPc and also upgraded my internet to a ultimate package to be able to get the best connection possible. As I have been playing games like - Arma 3, CsGo, Etc, I have noticed that while im on a ethernet connection it is much more stable but it has a higher ping. I looked into the issue and took some speed tests.

Wired Is This :
Ping : 35-45 Ms
Download : 62 Mb/s
Upload : 6-7 Mb/s

Wireless :
Ping : 15-25 Ms
Download : 50-60 Mb/s
Upload : 5-6 Mb/s

P.S : Just curious on why my ping is higher and how to lower it. Also I dont know if it affects anything but my modem is right next to my computer and has 2 wires coming out that are a wireless wire that runs to my router, and a ethernet that runs directly to my computer.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP!

seems like you are using a web based speed test to measure ping response. which means that you have no control or knowledge of what exactly is being pinged or how many hops are in between your device (the source) and the destination.

to figure out whats going on i would start by using the ping command, and i would look at the local network first.

plug in with a cable and disable your wireless.
open command prompt and run ipconfig, look for the IP address of the default gateway.
now run a continuous ping test for at least 5 minutes with the following command
ping IP address of default gateway -t
press ctrl+c to terminate the test and note the statistics at the end.

disconnect the cable, connect to the wireless and repeat the above...
