Need help on my nighthawk

When I play online games. And I go to shoot or do anything. It's like my characters actions are always half a second behind what I do on my screen.

My internet is 200 down 10 up. And I know my ping is usually 60 to 80 on games I play.

So I was wondering is there some settings I can change in my router to help this.

Which I already got my ps4 set up as dmz. But I donno.

    What router do you have? 

    What firmware is on it? 

    What modem/gateway are you connecting the router to? 

    What actual speeds do you get if you test them? Not just what you pay for.

    What gaming system are you using? 

    Are you hardwired in or on wireless? If on wireless, are you connecting to the 2.4ghz or the 5ghz?

    Is it all games or only certain ones?
