Why is my ping so high? (need help)

[Justasomeone]

Hello.. first of all, I just wanted to say that I'm new to all this and I would appreciate some help . Lately I've been getting high ping on a certain game I play.. it only happens when I have my router connected. I have a RT-N66U

I'm from the east coast, so whenever I play my game I play on a USeast server with awesome ping.

But when I have my router connected my ping drastically changes.

Normally, I should be getting 40 ping on East and 100+ on west.

But when I have my router connected its the other way around. I get low ping on West and I lag in East.. It shows 140, but has gone up to 250ms.

Like it's honestly no different from playing on a EU server.

So what gives?

Reasons for getting high ping value.
1.High ping is when there is high traffic in your system.
2.This can be either caused by loading such large files that the system cannot handle them, or by running several programs at the same time.
3.High ping is not just due to the bad internet connection. video lag, sound lag, virus, spyware, worms, or so on, could cause the high ping. not enough Ram could cause the problem too.
If you get any high ping ,try to lower your ping rate by using some of the following instructions.
1.Don't open any videos,stream and check if there any problem in your router.
2.Make sure there's no browser .exe's still running in task manager
3.Try to contact your internet service provider and get suitable data plan.
4.Use any software like Game Booster
5.Move closer to server
I am sure,if you follow the rules,you will get chance to reduce your ping rate.Finally you can check your new ping using WhoisXY.com

I just tried the whoisxy.com ping test and the results came back with ping times that are ridiculously low for my satellite provider...normal ping times run around 700msec due to the long path from ground to satellite and back and no way short of making light travel at warp 10 to improve this. They are apparently testing from their own servers, not from your IP address.
