Wi-Fi and your home network
Wi-Fi adds delay and spikes. Use a cable or move closer to the router, and pause big downloads while you play.

Reading your result
What is a good ping?
It depends on the game.
Ping is the time a message takes to reach the server and come back. Lower is better, and steady matters as much as low.
| Ping | How it feels | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Under 30 ms | Instant, even in competitive shooters like CS2. | Excellent |
| 30 to 60 ms | Every game plays well, including FiveM and Minecraft. | Good |
| 60 to 100 ms | Fine for roleplay, survival and sandbox games. Fast shooters feel a little late. | Playable |
| Over 100 ms | You will notice delay. Try the tips below, or pick a location closer to you. | High |
A browser test includes a little extra time for the web request, so your in-game ping is usually a few milliseconds lower.

Fixing high ping
Why is my ping high?
Usually one of four things.
Most high or jumpy ping comes from the connection between you and the server, not the server itself.
Your ISP's route
Some ISPs send traffic the long way, through Europe or the US, before it reaches Singapore. A traceroute shows it; send it to your ISP and ask them to fix the route.
VPNs and proxies
A VPN sends your traffic through another country first. Turn it off and test again.
Distance
Every 1,000 km adds roughly 10 ms. Pick the server location closest to most of your players.
Ping test questions
Common questions.
Quick answers.
Is this the same as my in-game ping?
Close to it. A browser test includes a little extra time for the web request, so your in-game ping is usually a few milliseconds lower.
Which Nodewave location is closest to me?
For India, Malaysia, Indonesia and the rest of South and Southeast Asia, Singapore. Our one-click game servers also run in Dallas for North America and Amsterdam for Europe.
Why does my ping jump around?
Spikes usually come from Wi-Fi, other devices using your connection, or a busy link at your ISP in the evening. A wired connection fixes most of them.
Which location gives the best ping for India, Malaysia and Indonesia?
Singapore. In our October 2026 tests, players in Malaysia and Indonesia usually reached our Singapore network in under 50 ms, and players in India in about 40 to 90 ms. Routes vary by ISP, so test yours before you order.
