I have 20ms ping in pubg game, but still experience no response time
I have two routers: the main modem, a Huawei HG8145V5, and an XR1000, which I bought for better response time in PUBG. However, my smaller router performs better in PUBG than the XR1000, giving me be...
I have a 20ms ping on both routers, the Huawei and the XR1000, but I’m facing an issue in-game. When I shoot at an enemy, my bullets aren’t registering, and after just 1 or 2 shots from them, I’m down. The XR is connected to the Huawei through a dynamic IP, and I’m only connected to the XR, with no other devices on the Huawei. I’ve also set up QoS, so what could be the problem?
I have a stable ping on both routers, but there’s a difference in response time and bullet registration. I get better bullet connectivity with the Huawei than with the XR. If I buy the Huawei for $5 and the XR for $500, there should be an improvement in bullet registration and response time, as well as a more stable connection to the server.
- Ping doesn't really work like that, if that is the fastest you can possibly achieve due to your base ping/proximity to a game server then the router can't improve that, to do so would literally break the laws of physics and it's not quite at that level.
Is the ping on the Geo-Filter and in game reading the same? Does it suffer from spikes or any sort of instability? It could be server load in which case forcing servers slightly further away even if the ping is slightly higher can result in a better experience if the server is under less load.When I put PUBG Mobile on the geo-filter, my ping increases in the game. Also, if I reduce the radius to just my country, the in-game voice chat stops working, but if I increase the radius to Europe, the voice chat works. Additionally, PUBG Mobile is not available on the ping heatmap. There are several areas where this router could be improved. It doesn’t properly support PUBG, and I bought it to optimize my routing to PUBG servers and reduce lag by selecting the best server for me. Overall, I was expecting a better routing system. If you have any suggestions to improve my PUBG Mobile ping or recommend another router that could enhance the routing system, I would appreciate it.
Also, my friend plays with 120+ ping, and his bullet registration is far better than mine, even though his internet speed is lower and he’s just using a simple ISP router, not a gaming router.
- We haven't specifically tested with any mobile games but that shouldn't happen - how much does your ping increase with just the Geo-Filter enabled and when that happens what server are you getting put on? You'd need to add the chat server to the allow list and then it'll work with a reduced radius.
