Those with homeplugs what is your ping?

GinG · 11 Oct 2013 at 20:35

Just wondering what your ping is when pinging the default gateway?

I am currently at 3ms, should it be less? Not sure on performance in games yet but should this make any difference?

When I ping my work gateway when at work it is always 1ms or <1ms.

Cheers

That is without homeplugs, direct wire... stop worrying

I get:

~3ms over Homeplugs.
<1ms on direct cable.

They wont be as fast but it's not the end of the world either.

I get 3-4ms. Ethernet should be <1ms unless you have a cabling issue, interference or some sort of issue on the router/pc.... Or a very, very long cable!)

Something is so wrong with something on my end, only a 15m cable

Not worth even looking into though!

<1ms Direct cable
3-4ms Homeplug

3-4ms is about right.

But if you're not getting <1ms with a direct ethernet cable you have a (possibly serious?) problem!

3ms here to my devolo homeplugs.

Direct wired is <1ms
