No ping is not too bad. I think you might have luck with restarting your
Internet modem. Maybe the router too. The router should be sending the ping,
and the internet modem should answer. I would look at the router setup to be
sure the MAC address for the Internet modem is right (maybe an option to
'clone Mac address' there)
