Netgear nighthawk XR500 gaming router
My question: i am about to buy Netgear nighthawk pro gaming router XR500 but i want to know that it will work with playstation pro or not?
I am living in middle east. Most of the time i play fortnite and my ping is 150, does it affect my ping or not?
Thank you

The XR series of routers works with all gaming systems.
- As above. Your ping is most likely due to your location. It depends what server the game is putting you on, it may be putting you on the closest one to you but if not the router could force that which would lower the ping. You could also be experiencing local congestion if there is lots of internet usage happening when you're playing a game. The router can also help with that and lower the ping when this happens.
- Thanks guys
