Hello, when I try to join this one server, it will say pinging... (it is a 1.7.4 server because when I go to 1.6.4 it says it is 1.7.4) and when I join it, my inventory will load, but I will be falling in the void and then I will disconnect and I will see "Timed Out". I use Wi-Fi, but when I use an Ethernet cable (which I can only use in another room) the MOTD will load and I can join fine. I think this is a problem with my ping, and I can't download any software that supposedly makes your ping better because I am on a Mac. I have junk internet with 5 Mbps DL and .6 Mbps UL (CenturyLink). Is there any way I can join the server using Wi-Fi? Also, when my family and I go on vacation for like a weekend or a full week, when we come back I can join the server fine on Wi-Fi, then after a couple of days it will go back to Pinging..., timing out, etc.
You should be able to join servers just fine with Wireless. 5 Mbps download is not junk and is more than enough. Your mentioning 1.6.4 vs 1.7.4 is confusing. What version of the launcher and game are you running and what are you trying to connect to?
