High ping on PC compared to Laptop.

galon · Dec 21, 2017

So my PC pings about 10 MS higher than my laptop, whether my laptop is connected via ethernet or not makes no difference.

I've tried
-updating anything to do with my networking adapter.
-Uninstalling and reinstalling my network adaptor
-scanned for viruses
-disabled antivirus
-flushing the dns and all the other netsh commands
-ensured onedrive and homegroup and such are disabled

My motherboard is an MSI z97
My network adapter is a killer Ethernet e2200

Not sure that you can really consider a 10 ms (milliseconds) a significant difference.

Too many factors involved as you have already noted with the actions you tried.

pathping and tracert may help pinpoint the location of the additional 10ms delay. Provided that the delay is consistently in one device/hop.

However, because the traffic can be routed any number of ways (and the routing can change during any given session) the results are overall meaningless.

You can use Task Manager and Resource Monitor on both computers to observe network related services and processes. However the hardware, OS, configuration, and software differences will inherently exhibit different performance levels and ping responses.

If wired, just changing the Ethernet cable might make a difference - could go either way...

Overall, unless there is some very specific notable end-user performance difference between the PC and laptop, I would not be concerned about a 10 ms ping difference.

And if there is a significant difference it is unlikely to be due to the 10 ms ping difference.

As i'm using my PC for gaming 10 MS is a big difference to me, I'm guessing the issue is my network adapter inside of my PC and before I buy a new one I wanted to see if anyone else had an idea as to what could cause this difference between the two systems.

You gave us the specs on your PC ... what are the specs on your laptop LAN?

Have you tried without the "killer" software? Software and devices that try to make internet bandwidth more equitable often do so by making sure noone gets all of it.

I did the following-
Uninstalled killer network suite, restarted pc, no changes.
Uninstalled drivers, restarted pc, no changes.
reinstalled drivers but NOT the suite, restarted pc, no changes.

Laptop NIC is: Atheros AR5B97 wireless adaptor and broadcom netlink gigabit ethernet. The broadcom being the adapter that would be used when an ethernet cable is plugged in i assume.

also worth noting this issue popped up approx 6months-1 year ago and the ping on my laptop (18-19ms) was what i used to get on the PC (now 28-29), only changes been made to PC is some extra RAM installed which if memory serves I didn't notice that caused an increase to ping (not that it should).

Just to confirm: only one adapter (wired or wireless) is enabled at a time. Correct?

In device manager, under network adapters I have these listings.
Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
TAP-Windows Adapter V9 (my VPN uses this, ive tried disabling it to see if it fixes things to no avail)
WAN miniport (ikev2)
WAN miniport (ip)
WAN miniport (IPv6)
WAN miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (network monitor)
WAN miniport (PPPOE)
WAN miniport (PPTP)
WAN miniport (SSTP)

Go back a step: only enable either a wired or a wireless network adapter.

If your ISP does not provide IPv6 then disable that on your network adapter.

Unfortunately this hasn't fixed anything

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Try using Task Manager and Resource Monitor to observe what you computer is doing. Before gaming to start with. Then slide the window to the side and game as usual. Watch for changes....

May spot some activity that contributing to the extra 10 ms.
