    Hi @DamnBobolobo, 

    I'm curious if updating the DNS in Windows would help with this at all. 

    You can change the DNS through the Windows TCP/IP settings. For more information on how to get there check out the Microsoft Support website. I usually go with the public Google DNS (Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8; Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4), but I've also heard that using the public Cloudflare DNS can also help (Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1). 

    Let me know if you're still having any ping issues after that. Thanks!

@DamnBobolobo 

I had the same issue, It's not on your end, and you don't need to change the DNS settings like they recommend.

I might have found a fix for it, I haven't had the ping issue ever since I did this:

Open your CMD prompt, and type in ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter. This will clear your DNS cache files.

Let me know if it helps.
