Why do I keep experiencing high latency or ping while gaming online?

< 1 min read

Here are some steps you can take to address your latency issue while gaming online:

  1. Close all unnecessary programs. Make sure that only applications that your game specifically needs to run are active, such as voice chat applications.

  2. Reboot your modem and router. Unplug and replug both the modem and router, and wait for about a minute. This can help refresh your connection and might reduce latency.

  3. Check for server issues with the game. Occasionally, game servers experience clogs or disconnections that can cause latency issues. Check your game's support or Twitter/Facebook page for any server issues.

  4. Try using an Ethernet cable. For online gaming, an Ethernet connection is the optimal connection. This will provide the quickest connection and less latency than a wireless connection.
