Hi A Very Smugleaf,

Thanks for posting on the Community Support Forums!

Are you testing your latency from the Xbox console itself? If so, your Xbox console will be pinging a server in Seattle regardless of where you're located in the world.

To get an accurate result of your latency, run a test on speedtest.net and report back with what you get there.

 

Yeah its 80 on my computer but is that even relevant if its the xbox im having connection issues with?

 

Hi,

As long as you tested under the same conditions, i.e. your computer is in the same room, near to the Xbox, etc, then yes, it will be just as accurate.

There isn't really anything that would change it between the Xbox and a computer - it is literally just the latency between your connection and where it is going to/from.

80ms isn't too bad, but could probably be improved, so let's take a look at your router placement.

Where abouts is your router located? Near a wall? Television? Somewhere else?

 

Latency on computer is 20 not 80 got mixed up, i have a wired connection to my rputer downstairs its directly below my xbox

 

Does both your computer and Xbox use the wired connection?

Wireless connections will add a significant amount of latency to a connection, due to the unstable methods of transmitting the data.

 

Yes both of them are conected to the router via wire i had wireless but i had problems so switch to wired Yo help with lag.

 

Then everything should be OK if your PC latency is around 20ms.

If you have any issues, please reply back.

 

Okay so its just a bad number and not the cause of connection issues?

 

Not at all, as long as you can connect fine and not experiencing any unusual lag, you're all good to go.
