My internets, Which to choose.

[Pixelatorx2]

My house is very weird. I infact have 2 wifi routers. But, they are both connected to the same rogers plan. This confuses me because since they are on the same plan, why do they have different pings/ups/downs?

So my question is, what should I choose for my Minecraft playing internet.

Wifi one has: 10ms ping/20.42 mpbs download/5.32 mpbs upload.
Wifi two has: 17 ping/42.03 mpbs download/2.17 mpbs upload.

I myself dont know which to choose, so does anyone here know what one I should use?

let me check my internet speed to compare, and see if mine is worse, or better then you, then I might know what to do.

Edit: wifi 2

Second one. The best setup for PvP is a high download speed, and a low upload speed, which allows you to register everyone's movements perfectly, but they will be unable to hit you, as your computer is delayed on uploading your position to the server. As for the ping, it doesn't really matter; both will have a similar connection to the server.

Minecraft hardly uses any bandwidth at all. Router 1 or 2 would be fine.
If you do a lot more Skype/video calls while playing, 1 would be better. As an average user, you use no more than 10Mbit/s.
If you're downloading a game or something, hop on your second router. Otherwise, the faster upload will help with voice calls/video chats/etc.

Thanks! I tend to do a lot of skype calls and stuff so I will use 1 while skyping and 2 while regularly playing.

Wifi 2 has bigger numbers, so I choose it!
