Legion Slim 7i
I'm averaging high download speeds and low ping within speed tests, but all games I run give me high ping.
I've downloaded new drivers, updates, reset my modem, and changed where my laptop is located
This device is new as of one day ago
I updated the recommened Lenovo drivers and Windows updates.

tepid shard try running ping 8.8.8.8 -t in cmd

#

i dont get it

#

i just installed tcp optimizer

#

and gonna see if that makes a difference

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:05 AM

#

you turn on that network boost in vantage?

#

just turn that off

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:05 AM

#

its off

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:05 AM

#

this is with wifi or LAN?

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:05 AM

#

wifi

#

this is a laptop so i wanna be able to use wifi with 0 problems

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:06 AM

#

do you tried another games?

#

it could be the server you choose in valorant

#

before the match you can switch it up

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:07 AM

#

i chose my closest server

#

it honestly might be an issue on valorants end

#

im not sure though

#

but i was playing roblox earlier and i couldnt even run that w/o getting disconnected

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:07 AM

#

wait in the video it only spiking pings?

#

it could be just your internet provider

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:07 AM

#

yeah

#

well no

#

bc i've never had this issue

#

ok wait

#

tcp may have just clutched

#

oh my word

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:08 AM

#

if you can, just show the ping 8.8.8.8 -t like this

#

#

it help you knew when it spikes

#

also I don't recommend playing valorant on WIFI it can be quite uncomfortable as you climb high ranks, it will be so competitive

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:10 AM

#

i usually play on my pc

#

i just got this laptop as a gift bc i travel a lot

#

but when i play on my pc i use ethernet with 0 issues

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:11 AM

#

yeah laptop is portable pc afterall.

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:11 AM

#

my ping is a stable like 20 but its been spiking a tiny but but not much

#

i think the tcp thing helped

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:11 AM

#

maybe your wifi have too many users, so the router can't handle it

#

but on LAN it will be fine

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:12 AM

#

yeah

#

my mbs on ethernet is like 700 but wifi its like 150-200

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:12 AM

#

wifi modem have limitation, but it depends

#

the closer you to the router it will be faster for wifi

#

on LAN just plug it in, and it will be fine as always

#

as far as I knew, that laptop is fine

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:13 AM

#

yeah imma keep testing games

tepid shard Dec 13, 2023, 7:15 AM

#

try when people in your place sleep

limpid glade Dec 13, 2023, 7:19 AM

#

people are asleep rn

#

but it was just so weird why that was happeneing when like my game consoles use wifi and they never have any problems

limpid glade but it was just so weird why that was happeneing when like my game consoles use ...

Well there isn’t much else to troubleshoot. You try different drivers and if that doesn’t work then if you want you get an intel WiFi card.

#

You could try an ax201 or 211

limpid glade Dec 14, 2023, 12:53 AM

#

#

i ran the ping test for 1.1.1.1 and it shows here the spikes

#

#

heres for 8.8.8.8

…….

limpid glade Dec 14, 2023, 12:56 AM

#

yeah i saw that

#

but its def a problem with the card

#

and im not sure why

bold talon Dec 14, 2023, 1:11 AM

#

Because they just aren’t very good

#

So either play with more driver versions or get an intel card

Try a buffer bloat test it could give more insight
