Higher ping
When I connect my ps5 straight to my modem I get like 43-44 ping on Fortnite but when I connect my ps5 to the nighthawk xr1000 I get around 50 why is there a difference? I use spectrum and there mode...
Ping is literally the time it takes for a device to send a signal to an ip address and get a response back.
Everything you add into the connection, adds ping. Reason why is now the router has to pickup the signal and retransmit. some are fairly low in how much ping time they add, others are going to be higher if they have to do packet inspection
