(if you don't know what ping is, get out of this post) I've tried many methods like using ping reducers or stopping downloads,closing programs that use a lot of the network and a few more but they don't seem to help me reduce the ping but around 3 of them didn't do a lot of effect (BTW my ping is over 2,000)so is there any solution to this? oh and also i sometimes lag a bit |

Hi lightnessdragon3157, welcome to the forums.
Try these steps:
1. Get a fast enough computer, laptop, etc. Do this because your device can't make the internet (and your game) run faster than it.
2. Turn off your antivirus programs. It's risky, but you need to because most antivirus programs scan data first before showing it to you, thus making things slower.
3. Reduce bandwidth. Do this by closing streaming videos and stopping/pausing downloads.
4. Make sure your playing location is close to a server. For example, if your playing location is in Australia and your server location is in America, expect high ping rating.
If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to PM me.
Thanks, ROBLOX Forum Helper. |

You mean reduce bandwith usage. Reducing bandwith is the OPPOSITE of what you want to do. |

| If you're using Wi-Fi, switch over to a direct Ethernet connection. Your laptop's hardware may not be able to take use of a high speed Wi-Fi connection. |

Problems.
1. You probably have too many virus
2. You probably have a old fashion router

I've tried some of the methods you told me like number 2 and 3 but they don't cause much effect on the ping. But i haven't tried to buy a new internet yet and I'm starting to think my router is out dated
P.S. I feel like a hacker hacked into my network to get free internet and use it all up because i have a wep security type and wep security types are easy to get into i heard. |

@Light
They aren't EASY to get into, however it isn't challenging to get into them either. Call up your ISP, ask for a different type of security, and a new router. |

well i heard my internet provider (called at&t) had a new router that has security features so i might get it or ill have to stuck with the router i have, for a while.
But i do think that my dad should switch the internet provider to google fiber because i heard its a 100 times faster then average internet providers |

| Btw, how can you see the ping. I always check my internet speed, by loading google. if it loads on 1-2 sec its good enough. If this happened inside of Egg Hunt 2014?, well it lags for me there too. Probably because of all the minion corpses. |

| The thing is, it's CAPABLE of reaching 1300 Mbps. I am telling you right now, that almost nobody has that fast of an internet speed. Even with Google Fibre, that averages out at 800 Mb/s. And even if you did have that speed, it wouldn't always be at 1300 Mb/s. I'm guessing that you have around 120 Mb/s |
