Whenever I play games, my ping undergoes a constant cycle of rising and falling between 30ms and 150ms. The range of fluctuation is very specific and consistent.
Initially I thought it was my internet, so like many have suggested I used an ethernet cable to play the same games and the ping was a constant 30ms. No fluctuations.
I then tried upgrading my network adapter card. I originally had a Gigabyte 11ac Wireless PCIe Card with Bluetooth 4.2 - GC-WB867D-I and have upgraded it to an Asus 802.11ac Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter. For information, my router is the SKY HUB SR-102. I know its not dual band but I am planning to upgrade the router ASAP.
There was a slight improvement in the ping but it was still fluctuating between 30ms and 120ms.
I'm fairly inexperienced at networking problems so would be great to understand the best steps to take in order to find out what the problem is?
Any other advice, tips or things you have come across that would help resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
