当谈到互联网速度时，我们大多数人都会考虑速度。并不是说这无关紧要，但是当谈到在线游戏时，还有一个非常重要的——Ping Time。它在游戏方面起着至关重要的作用，如果您发现有延迟或游戏显示的 ping 时间比其他在线玩家高，那么这是一个劣势。这篇文章着眼于Ping Time 高的各种原因(reasons why Ping Time is high)。
什么是 Ping 时间？
Ping 衡量您的计算机与服务器通信所需的时间。计算机、路由器和其他设备使用不同的协议通过Internet进行通信。(Internet)ping 时间越长，他们就越有可能出现通信问题。
想象一下(Imagine)玩多人游戏，每个人都来自不同的位置。ping 时间最短的人将比打印时间更长的人更快地响应操作。简而言之，快速 ping 意味着更快的连接。
从技术上讲，Ping是信息包从您到达服务器并返回所需的毫秒数。
术语“低 ping”和“高 ping”是什么意思？
这些术语通常用于描述计算机用户计算机从Internet接收信息的速度。测试ping时间时，ping时间越低越好。假设您在美国，服务器在新加坡(Singapore)。与欧洲(Europe)或日本(Japan)的服务器相比，ping 时间会更长。
这是游戏玩家连接到最近的服务器而不是您选择的服务器的主要原因。这种设置确保没有人拥有高 ping 优势。
为什么我在Windows 11/10时间(Time)如此之长？
连接设备的Ping 时间(Ping Time)较长可能有多种原因。如果您的 ping 时间很长，以下是主要原因。
1] 互联网服务提供商
即使您拥有最好的游戏硬件、Wi-Fi或以太网连接以及最好的Wi-Fi适配器，它也不能保证高 ping 时间。一切都(Everything)归于ISP。大多数时候，我们最终会选择速度快、价格便宜的ISP，但我们不知道的是 ping 时间。这也是难以弄清楚的事情之一。
最好的方法是查明是否有人在使用它并检查 ping 时间或进行试用并使用自己的设备自行检查。
2]硬件
这是第二大原因，主要与WIFI相关。大多数设备都使用路由器连接，大量流式传输可能会导致设备的优先级降低，从而导致 ping 时间较长。
关键是您需要一个可以根据需要（即游戏、流媒体等）对设备进行优先级排序的路由器(Router)。在路由器中寻找服务(Service)质量(Quality)( QoS ) 功能。
最重要的是，如果您无法通过以太网连接，请确保您 PC 上的无线硬件足够强大，能够获得所需的速度。我从USB WiFi 适配器(USB WiFi Adaptor)切换到基于PCIe的适配器，ping 时间和速度之间的差异很大。
如果您靠近路由器，则绝对应该使用以太网(Ethernet)线进行连接。
3]检查信号强度
假设您在WiFi上，请确保您有足够的强度和更少的死角，无论您觉得 ping 时间可能会更好。信号强度取决于许多因素，例如您与无线路由器的距离以及墙壁的厚度。
如果死点太多，则应升级到Mesh网络。在您的 PC 周围放一个，它应该有助于减少 ping 时间。
另一种选择是电力线以太网适配器(Powerline Ethernet Adaptor)，它应该可以很好地工作但需要规划。

什么是延迟(Latency)？滞后(Lag)是什么意思？
我们所说的Ping时间在技术上是延迟(Latency)。Ping是从一台计算机发送到另一台计算机并返回的信号或数据包。为此花费的时间称为延迟。(Time)延迟时间越长，延迟越多。所以在玩游戏的时候，如果你看到跳帧，那是因为高延迟。你会觉得一切都变慢了，或者场景突然发生了变化。
如何测试 Ping 时间？
打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)或任何终端(Terminal)并输入 ping 和任何网站名称，即 ping google.com。结果将包括时间作为因素之一，平均值将告诉您 ping 时间。
除此之外，大量的网站可以帮助您进行 ping 测试。它通常在提供Speedtest的网站上可用。
下载时间和ping时间有什么区别？
虽然两者都与互联网有关，而 ping 意味着响应返回给您的速度，下载(Download)意味着您可以下载数据的速度。
我希望这篇文章能帮助您了解差异，为什么您的 ping 时间很长，以及您可以做些什么来减少它。
Why is my Ping Time so high in Windows 11/10?
When it comes to internet speеd, most of us think about speed. Not that it doеѕn’t mattеr, but when it comes to online gaming, there is one more that matters a lot — Ping Time. It plays a vital role when it comes to gaming, and if you notice there is a lag or the game shows the ping time high compared to other online players, then it’s a disadvantage. This post looks at various reasons why Ping Time is high.
What is Ping Time?
Ping is a measurement of how long it takes for your computer to communicate with a server. Computers, routers, and other devices communicate over the Internet using different protocols. The longer the ping time, the more likely they are to have problems communicating.
Imagine playing a multiplayer game where everyone is from a different location. The one with the lowest ping time will respond to actions faster than those with higher print time. In short, a fast ping means a more responsive connection.
Technically, Ping is the number of milliseconds it takes a packet of information to reach the server from you and back.
What do the terms “low ping” and “high ping” mean?
These terms are usually used to describe the speed at which a computer user computer receives information from the Internet. When testing the ping time, the lower the ping time, the better it is. Let’s say you are in the US, and the server is in Singapore. The ping time will be higher when you compare it with a server in Europe or Japan.
It is the primary reason gamers are connected to their closest server instead of the server you choose. This setup makes sure nobody has the high ping advantage.
Why is my Ping Time so high in Windows 11/10?
There can be many reasons why the Ping Time of a connected device is high. Here are the top reasons if your ping time is high.
1] Internet Service Provider
It doesn’t guarantee high ping time even if you have the best gaming hardware, Wi-Fi or ethernet connection, and the best Wi-Fi adaptor. Everything falls back to the ISP. Most of the time, we end up choosing an ISP that offers good speed, cheap, but what we don’t know is the ping time. It is also one of the difficult things to figure out.
The best way is to find out if someone is using it and check the ping time or get a trial and check it yourself with your own set of equipment.
2] Hardware
This is the second top reason and is mostly associated with WIFi. Most of the devices are connected using a router, and so much streaming can result in less priority for your device, resulting in high ping time.
The point is that you need a Router that can prioritize devices based on the need, i.e., gaming, streaming, etc. Look for the Quality of Service (QoS) feature in the router.
On top of this, if you cannot connect over ethernet, make sure the wireless hardware on your PC is powerful enough to get the speed you need. I switched from a USB WiFi Adaptor to PCIe based adaptor, and the difference between ping time and speed was drastic.
If you are close to your router, you should definitely connect using Ethernet wire.
3] Check Signal Strength
Assuming you are on WiFi, make sure you have enough strength and fewer dead spots from wherever you feel the ping time could be better. Signal strength depends on many factors, such as how far you are from the wireless router and the thickness of the wall.
If you have too many dead spots, you should upgrade to a Mesh network. Keep one around your PC, and it should help reduce the ping time.
The other alternative can be the Powerline Ethernet Adaptor that should work well but needs planning.

What is Latency? What does it mean by Lag?
What we call Ping time is technically Latency. Ping is the signal or packet that is sent from one computer to another and back. Time taken for this is called latency. The longer the latency, the more the lag. So when playing a game, if you see a frame skipped, it’s because of high latency. You would feel everything slow or a sudden change in the scene.
How to test Ping time?
Open Command Prompt or any Terminal and typing ping and any website name, i.e., ping google.com. The result will include time as one of the factors, and the average will tell you the ping time.
Apart from this, tons of websites can help you with the ping test. It is usually available with websites that offer Speedtest.
What’s the difference between download and ping time?
While both are related to the internet, while ping means how fast the response comes back to you, Download means how fast you can download data.
I hope the post helped you understand the differences, why your ping time is high, and what all you can do to reduce it.
