he is getting like 0ms using wireless g. How is that possible? I am getting 1ms on a netgear 3700 using cat6 cables.

my screenshot. I am pinging my router. That is the closest thing with the lowest ping. Note the random high ping in each test. I think something with my network card on laptop is not performing well.

 

I think it might depend on how much the router has to do

When I was accessing the router my ping got a bit slower
Else, I can actually browse the web along the side

I get ~0.9ms to my wndr3700 on 2.4GHz. I'm not sure how the algorithm works for windows, it may be rounding down.

 

how do you do multiple tests like that?

 

my point is how do i get 1ms and he gets <1ms and he uses wifi and i use cable? I thought wifi bad a fairly higher ping than network cable....

 

ping "IP-Adress" -t

That's continuous

edit:
no -c in Vista.

 

ok i redid it and it goes 8ms and then 1ms constant.... going to try wireless now

EDIT: I tried wired and surfing internet pages that had lots of images and it stayed at 1ms the whole time

Now i did wireless
I get 1ms-5ms Which is what i figured would be normal but how do you guys get 1ms and <1ms....grrr

now doing internet surfing i get
now i get 1ms-8ms...mostly 1ms-7ms.
It also hung for like 2 seconds once on a website game and when surfing once in a while jumps in the 10s or 20s.


So how is urs more constant and faster than my cat6????

 

Yeah, I get ~0.2ms on gigabit ethernet. Why does it matter anyway? A 0 ping is obviously a fluke or an error. He could also be pinging a loopback interface, lol.

 

I was pinging my home server, there is actually one screenshot that showed all computers on the network.

The second one I also did on several IP Addresses

 

IP addresses can be set up for loopback, that was my point, but I get under 1ms on my wndr3700 running openwrt, whether it's wired or wireless. Windows probably rounds down the number or gives less precision than a unix ping utility.

 

i just don't get how wireless is 1ms or less i thought it was higher. my wireless is 1-8ms and his is 1ms or less. My Ethernet isn't even that low....

EDIT: I use regular firmware...would that make a difference?

 

I dunno if firmware makes a difference, I've always used openwrt. I can't recommend it though -- unless you're into doing daily builds and bricking it occasionally.

Why are you concerned about a few ms? Are you looking to set up a stock exchange?

 

i do trade stocks so that is a good reason to make it faster I am just baffled on how wifi is faster than my cat6....i thought wifi had anywhere from 1-5ms worse latency no matter what....due to it being radio and not cable and due to interference....btw i got lots of that...give me one set...here check this out lol

the sanders guy is a ...he spams like 8 channels....he used to use 2 and 6 and that reached all the way to channel 9 or 10.

EDIT: you dont see it in screen shot but sanders covers 1-7 channels. used to be 1-9 channels....jerk

 

Yeah that explains it really, you've got too much interference from other networks.

 

yea but how does your wifi beat my cat 6 lol

Is radios penetrating my nice cat 6 shielding?

EDIT: Still shocked that wifi is 1ms or less.....never knew it was that fast.

EDIT: I admit i was wrong....gladly wrong lol

 

I don't know how to explain your wired latency... but I'm not sure it's a problem. A 1ms ping isn't really too shabby, you could try a different utility to compare results. I get an occasional 5ms+ ping on ethernet.

 

meh of well. thx for thee quick replies i appreciate it ^^ +rep
