I play a lot of Fortnite and usually run about 20-40 ping and was wondering how to reduce this. I was thinking about a gaming router but they seem very pricey. If a gaming router isn’t the way is there other methods to reduce my ping. I have very limited knowledge on this subject, thanks.
Is your pc directly connected to the router. Anything in between adds latency. A standard switch shouldnt give more than 1ms on top. A higher priced router wont give you much if gaming is the only data usage at a time. Any standard router shouldnt struggle with such loads.
