Wireless/Hardwired Connection

TH3 REVELAT0R · Jan 18, 2019

I have been playing on a wireless connection for some time now, and in trying to lower my ping, I decided to hardwire my connection. Unfortunately there is no change in ping whatsoever from before. Is there something I need to do in network settings or on
my router settings to facilitate a lower ping?

Thanks

You won't necessarily get a better ping time when switching to wired as your connection is still at the same number of hops. The wired connection will be better performance wise because it won't be subjected to wireless interferance from other WiFi devices
which can reduce your available throughput on the WiFi channel.

Try restarting your router and clearing your xbox cache. When I swapped from wireless to hardwired the difference was quite significant.

As Crumb Snatcherz said above "reset your router and clear the xbox cache". I switch between wired and wireless a lot depending on what I'm doing.

How many people in your household are using the same internet while you game? People confuse fast internet with strong internet all the time. If your ping is spiking it may be because other people are doing stuff too which is causing you to spike periodically.

Hi Revelator,

As Arminator did a great job explaining ping. There really isn't much you can do to control this. As most multiplayer games like call of duty give a set person host in a party. If that person has real bad internet the whole team suffers with that internet.
Personally I have noticed from time to time bad ping on games there are so many factors, its nearly impossible to control. Only thing would be an issue if it is high ping all the time. If there are a lot of devices in the house, you could upgrade the router
to handle more devices.

Thanks,

Brad
