[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 348278, member: 2960"] When I ping my router in OS X, I get this: [COLOR="DarkRed"]round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.742/1.822/1.994/0.083 ms[/color] If your times are that skewed between Mac and Windows, then there is something else afoot. It isn't an issue with the operating system. Have you tried to ping other addresses? Go ahead and ping: [COLOR="DarkRed"] 127.0.0.1[/COLOR] This address is known as the local loopback address. See what your results are with that. In the end, I really wouldn't be too upset with ping results. All it really does is tell you if a server is reachable or not. It isn't a very accurate measure of speed or connection quality. You would be better off doing a traceroute for that sort of diagnostic. [/QUOTE]
