How do you fix high ping?

My ping has been really high lately usually between 200 - 400 sometimes higher, normally it is between 50 - 80. I did everything websites recommended except re-download Overwatch. I was about to do that but decided I’d post my data from the Battle net Looking Glass to see if anybody knew any other fix.

Howdy!

Seems no results are showing from the ISP network. Can you run a WinMTR to the server you are connected too when you see high ping following the steps Here! Keep the test running for a total of 10 minutes. Post the results back here for review!

I think I did this right…

Hello,
I have the same issue and plays from Central America connected to America region. Please help us.

It is advised to create your own thread and share a WinMTR test result. Latency issues happen all of the time but that doesn’t mean your latency issue is automatically the same. It even seems that with the OP the latency issues start with his router with his worst latency being almost 2.5 seconds.

The thing about that is my bro can be playing at the same time in the same house and be getting the 50 ping so i think its my computer or maybe a bug in OW cause i have been playing it for a few years and it just started doing thia a few months ago

Your connection to the router looks really unstable. Are you on wireless? If so, try a cable connection and see if it improves. Then you’ll know it’s the wireless adapter on your PC or the router (unless your brother uses wireless with no issue, then it’s just the PC).

If you’re already wired, try a new cable. And if that fails, try a different port on the router. Finally, if none of this helps, you may need to look at replacing the NIC in your PC.
