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.

    Hmm… What kind of Internet connectivity do you have? I just measured 275/274 Mbs and 6.89 ms ping on my 10 year old iPad Air over my 5 GHz WiFi connection! I’m paying for a 250/250 Mbs Fiber connection (FTTH) .

      To where did you measure the ping? With such a low latency, it almost sounds like a speedtest within your providers network, which can differ a lot from real world experience on game servers outside your providers network.

      Even dns.google and one.one.one.one give me about 5ms advantage to any game server.
