Nighthawk xr500
Hello, i recently got the nighthawk xr500 when i connected it i got 20 ping now I’ve been using it for a couple days and now my ping is sitting on 50-60 is there a way to lower this
Where are you pinging? Is this your ping to a website or your ping in a game? There are lots of variables outside of your router that could cause a higher ping, including the game putting you on a different server.
However the Geo-Filter could help you to get games with a better ping, here's a guide on how to use it: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-geo-filter
It might be helpful to read about how to use Ping Assist as well: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000087579--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-ping-assist-step-2-1-
It’s my ping it’s now a 60-70 and i have the best wifi where i live but it’s still high. I pinged the server near me
- It is my ingame ping
- What game are you playing? So you're going off the ping it shows in game and not the Geo-Filter ping? Are you using the Geo-Filter or QoS? I would recommend you go through the optimal settings guide to make sure you're set up properly: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646
- The game I’m playing is fortnite and i use both QoS and Geo Filter
