Hello everyone! This is a guide to getting your ping just that little bit less. This guide is very short but should help most of you to lower your ping. IMPORTANT:THIS ISN'T JUST FOR MINECRAFT BUT ALL GAMES. CMD With your CMD/Command Prompt you are going to want to type it into your search bar next to the windows icon and right click it so these options come up. Here you are going to want to click Run as administrator.(If you can run as asministrator you can still do this but the effect may not be as good.) Once it loads up you are going to want to type in this code(copy exactly)-ipconfig /flushdns After this click enter. If typed correctly it should say Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache. %TEMP% This part is very simple what you are gonna want to do is do WIN+R to bring up your run menu. In here what you are gonna wanna type is %temp% Once the folder pops up you are gonna wanna do CRTL+A to highlight it all then right then delete. Do not worry everything in this folder is just cache. MOVE CLOSER TO YOUR ROUTER If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, decreasing the space between your gaming device and your router will increase your Internet connection strength, which will in turn decrease your ping. While this step isn't likely to fix your ping issues entirely, it's a good rule of thumb. Items such as walls, floors, and other physical obstacles will impede your wireless signal and weaken connection (If you are plugged in using a Ethernet cable don't worry about this step) CLOSE BACKGROUND APPS Having other programs running in the back severely increases your ping. Programs like Netflix, YouTube, torrenting services, and even other games running will severely affect your ping. This applies to background programs and websites on all devices, not just the one on which you're gaming. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DEVICES USING THE WIFI This applies to even the people who are connect via Ethernet. Routers and Internet connections can only support so many devices, and each in-use device will detract from the available connection speed and increase your ping. Consider putting your mobile devices in Airplane Mode while you game, since doing so will pull them off of the Wi-Fi network without forcing you to use cellular data. CALL YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER Before taking action toward replacing your router, call your ISP to make them aware of your latency issues. They may have a less expensive answer for you. This would be very useful as it could be that your router is faulty or other reasons so this is a better and smarter option. REPLACE YOUR ROUTER I'm not saying change internet service provider I'm saying if your router and/or modem is more than a few years old, replacing your unit will have a noticeable effect on your Internet connection strength, speed, and consistency. Similarly, your ping will also likely go down when you install a new router. UPGRADE YOUR INTERNET PACKAGE Unfortunately, if nothing else has helped decrease your ping, you'll have to select an Internet package with higher upload and download speeds from your ISP. Many Internet providers have a "Gamer" package with increased upload and download speeds despite this costing money it could make a very big impact on your ping. REGEDITS and .BATS While regedits and bats do not significantly change your ping they can help lower it if you would like some I can recommend or send you some. They are all 100% safe from me but if you download it from another source I would be very careful. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR READING AND I HOPE THIS GUIDE WILL LOWER YOUR PING. (ANY QUESTIONS LEAVE BELOW)
I hope you know none of this effects your ping at all. Ping isn’t your own WiFi it’s your connection to the server.
