Hi!
Whenever my sister uses her laptop it makes the routers ping really unstable. It usually lies between 200-1000 when she uses the laptop. When she turns it off the ping remains at 21. Our internet is 8mbps/0.7mbps. I have tried other laptops and had no problems, but her laptop and her general use makes it impossible to play an online game without lagg. She doesn't download anything, just plays some flash/java games, chats and webcam etc. I just can't understand why the ping becomes so unstable when she uses her laptop.
What can I do to make the ping more stable? Any software I can install to limit how much ping she uses or something? Something I can buy to split the line between us or anything like that? Software that checks what she is doing that makes the ping unstable? She just had a few programs and chrome up and still ping was unstable. None of the other laptops in the house behaves this way nor any of the desktops. It also makes web pages load 5 times slower, so it is really annoying. She harldy uses any of the internet really, only the ping is affected. Like when I do speedtest, there is plenty of mbps left she uses maybe 3 of the 8mb, just a crazy ping. It is at 500 now: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2047646362.png
Hope someone can give me some tips and help, very much appriciated!!
