    In that case, are you able to try a different wireless network? (Possibly a friend or relatives?) This will greatly help us determine if this is an issue with your router or line or if it is an issue with your particular NIC.

    Do any other users experience similar ping times?

    Josh :)
    No, sadly I am not. I believe it is a problem with my NIC because I had this problem before, but I fixed it. I just reformated my computer and I dont remember how I did it. IIRC it had something to do with disabling my adapter from searching for other networks whilst connected to mine.

    Hmm most bizarre.... Since you reformatted can you use download and install your most current drivers for your Wireless card - Driver Details | Dell US


    Once done please boot the machine into safe mode with networking to see if there are any third party applications causing issues with your latency. Once in please run the ping test.

    To do so please follow this tutorial (OPTION ONE ONLY) - Safe Mode

    Please replace all references of Safe Mode with Safe Mode with Networking.

    Lastly, what anti-virus and firewall programs do you use? And do any other devices on the network suffer a similar issue?

    Since you are unable to test on another network I cannot confirm if it is your line to the internet or not so please understand that this may be the cause depending on if other devices have a similar issue.

    Many Thanks,
    Josh

    sorry if I come across as rude, but I alrdy answered most of those questions on the first post ; ( and installing the updated drivers solved it. Thank you. I mustve installed outdated drivers from the disc that came with the computer. +rep
