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...
You need to add the chat server to your allow list, then you can connect regardless of your radius size/location. Invite them to a chat, check the map for an icon that appears then ping and allow it - you may need to do it a couple of times.
Have the device added to the Geo-Filter, connect to a game, take a screenshot of the map with that server being pinged. Then switch to Spectating Mode, reboot the mobile, play again and do the same screenshot please, then I can compare.

Leave that for now; I have a few questions. Please just give me a reply.
1_When I connect XR to HG through Ethernet, the ping to the Middle East on XR fluctuates between 11 to 40 ms, while on HG, the ping is between 5 to 11 ms. Since it's a WiFi 6 and gaming router, why is the ping higher?
2_When I connect my mobile to WiFi, after 1-3 hours, the WiFi disconnects automatically, and I need to restart or hard refresh. After that, it works again, but only the 2.4 GHz band shows up, not the 5 GHz. When I hard refresh the mobile, the 5 GHz appears. I'm facing this issue on both my iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
3_Can you suggest any settings, like DMZ or anything else, that could improve my ping without using Geo-Filter?
Let me know if you'd like any further adjustments!
