Hello :) New here, I wanted to ask what could the problem be with my ping. I live in the Boston area and when I run a speed test on servers in boston my ping ranges anywhere from 35-100+ Some might say 35 ping isnt high but it seems way too high considering the server is less than 15 miles away.
A little info: I have a router/modem and a modem by itself. For some reason the apartment I live in isnt capable to just use a modem/router combo so the verizon person says. I use a laptop hooked up to the router via cable, I never run wirelessly. My laptop is old and the average temperature of it is around 100 degrees lol.. I was wondering if the heat could be causing a problem with the cpu because my friend tells me that it DOES have an effect on networking/ping if it is slow.
Here is a speedtest I just tested. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2938914787.png
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide :)
