Alienware 17 high ping
I recently bought a Alienware 17 and i encountered a small problem during gaming.
While playing titanfall or league my ping sometimes raises from 30 to 120 for a short duration. I can confirm this is not my router since all other PC's in my house have stable connections.
Wireless Card: Wireless : Killer NIC 1420 802.11n/ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0
Could anyone tell me how i could solve this?

Hi!
I recommend you download TCP Optimizer from this link and run the MTU/Latency test. The average results should be below 50-55. If you get the same results as you do on the games, go to General Settings and change the Connection Speed to the highest possible, make sure the option for Optimal Settings is selected at the bottom and hit apply. Test the games and let me know the results.

Turn WiFi off, and Test with real ethernet wire to make sure it's a WiFi problem.
