High "Ping" or Latency in Online Games
4.5
Your internet speed is fast, but your games are laggy and "rubber-banding".
Symptoms
- Rubber-banding
- Delayed actions
- High ms count
Possible Causes
- WiFi interference
- Bufferbloat
- Routing issues
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Use Ethernet
WiFi adds significant jitter and latency; a cable is essential for gaming.
2
Enable QoS on Router
Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes gaming traffic over Netflix or downloads.
3
Select Closer Game Server
Ensure you are playing on a server in your own region (e.g., US-East vs Europe).
When to See a Technician
Ping is about the "distance" and "quality" of the connection, not the "width" (speed).
