I set the ping assist to 0 and selected my country, but now it keeps connecting to the old bad server with IP 43.245.206.1, which is available in my country. Before making this change, I occasionally connected to the Singapore server, which had a good 5ms ping.

 

I have a question: I’m playing in international scrim tournaments, and one of my friends, who also plays, has a higher in-game ping than me, around 150-120ms, while mine is 80ms. However, his bullet registration seems much better than mine. His shots register properly, while mine don’t. Sometimes, I get knocked out in 2 bullets, but I don’t see all of his shots, though his fire rate looks normal when I watch the death replay. In my view, he shoots me very quickly.

 

Also, if I disable advanced WiFi settings like AX, what’s the benefit of having AX in the router if I can’t use it?

 

 

Singapore server which I saved

Is that server within your radius? If so you will probably connect to it, only have the servers you want inside your radius with any other servers outside your radius. Move the location, adjust the radius size etc to achieve this - it doesn't need to be set to your precise location. They may be experiencing lag compensation, as their ping is so high so the game gives them an advantage to try and make it move even. More so to disable beam forming, mu-mimo etc rather than AX specifically.
