Hey everyone! Recently on most of my games, every 3 seconds, my ping would shoot up to 500, and then go down to about 20-50. This would continue for about 20 minutes to the point where it would be unplayable and just stop. I'm connected to the internet with a wifi card, and I was thinking of doing ethernet. However, my desktop is in another room than my router, so I can't do direct ethernet. This is why I was thinking of doing powerline.
I had a spare powerline adapter I was using for security cameras, and I hooked them up to my desktop for about a week. I tested the speeds of powerline and wifi, and I got pretty much the same upload/download speeds. However, my goal isn't to improve internet speeds but to fix my ping problem. I also was debating on whether to try to buy another wifi card, because that might be the issue. What do you guys think? Should I get powerline, stick with my connection, or try to get a new wifi adapter?
