Horrible Ping

My son has been using plusnet to play league of legends for a while now. When we first received the wifi he said he had a steady 29 ping which he was really happy with. But recently the ping has been fluctuating from anything between 51 and 999. It's really frustrating to have to compete with his ping as well as other players he says. Is there anything you can do to fix this?

Re: Horrible Ping

Jump gateways to see if it help when he gets a large ping, also write down the gateway u are on before jumping. http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/ ; Can he check his ping in other games too? Is it just in that one game ? Also is your broadband affect by recent bad weather ?

It could even be more wifi devices/channels in use locally. It's worth trying different wireless channels, but really for gaming you should be using a wired connection where possible.
