it may be more of just the time that all the different connections take to talk to each other… best diagnostic for that is like MP said, (if you’re in windows) open the command prompt (most universal method:+ , then in the run dialog box type in cmd) and then when you get the console type in tracert gaming.wcu.edu… post those results (at least the times, the ip addresses are fairly irrelevant – just mark where your modem and router are on the list, if you know how to distinguish between them) and peeps can prolly draw better conclusions about what’s tying you up.
That was me not MP.

I am not sure if I did any of what you said correctly, and I have no idea of what any of this mean, but I think i did what you said. I don’t know what is my modem or router on this list. Any way to distinguish between the two? Anyway, hope this helps in some fashion.
The tracert has nothing to do with your router. It just shows the route your connection goes through to reach WCU servers, each number is a hop that your connection takes before reaching the destination. It also shows the ping time to each hop. If you had several hops to wcu and showing high pings then your problem would be with your ISP. Hop 11 is a little high but since the pings on the other hops after 11 look fine then its not an issue. This tracert looks fine, so the problem is not with your ISP/connection.
