    Need help with Latency and Ping issues

    Having to come into money I decided to pay back my family for everything they have done for me. I purchased 2 kindle fires for my Mom and Sister while I came back home for summer vacation. Now ever since they got the kindles whenever I try to play league or WoW or any computer game at all I get massive latency and ping increase and its only when they have their kindles on. Can anyone help me with this? I can't raid or play games at all. Im talking 600+ Ping and latency issues.

    Whatever they're using their Kindles for is obviously sucking up all of your bandwidth. You could try something like QoS to put your games above everything else, but I'm not guaranteeing that it will work.

    Is QoS a program that I can find?

    I assume you are using wireless? It sounds like you may have a crap wireless router.

    QoS (short for Quality of Service) is settings in your router that you configure to give you more 'priority' with connectivity, and/or bandwidth allocated per device. Some routers have it, some don't.
