Unstable ping

My ping has been quite unstable lately. It keeps going between 60, 40, and 120. In my last update, my ping was stable, but it seems to have become more erratic.

Unstable ping can be caused by various issues. Here's a checklist to troubleshoot: 1. Check your Internet Connection: Ensure you're using a stable connection. A wired connection is generally more reliable than Wi-Fi. 2. Close Background Applications: Shut down any non-essential applications, especially those using the internet, like streaming services or downloads. 3. Update Network Drivers: Make sure your network drivers are up-to-date. 4. Reset Network Settings: Open Command Prompt as an admin and run:
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

5. Allow VALORANT through Firewall: Follow the guide here: Firewall vs. VALORANT 6. Change DNS Server: Use Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare's DNS (1.1.1.1). 7. Contact ISP: If none of the above help, contact your ISP to check if there are issues on their end. For further troubleshooting, refer to the Riot Games support site.
