Xr500 Xbox series x high ping

I have 10-20 ms higher ping on my new Xbox series x compared to my Xbox series s. I use wired connection. I connected them both to same Ethernet cable testing each w the exact same connection. Is there something in the settings that I need to adjust? Ping on series x is 40. Ping on series s is 30-20. Thank you

  • Is this the ping in the network settings? If so I wouldn't worry about it, it's just the ping to the authentication server to say you're connected to XBL essentially, it won't affect your game ping at all as they use different servers.

      Yes. But the ping from Xbox is the same ping I get when I play Pubg. Much higher on series x compared to series s. I can tell the difference when I play too

        Are you using the Geo-Filter at all to force the servers you want? In WAN Settings set NAT to Open, that may help
