    What are you gaming on? 

    How are you connected? Wireless? wired? 2.4ghz/5ghz?

    how far from router is the gaming device?

    Do other devices have issues?

      the router isnt to far from the room i play my games in its in the living room which is literly on the other side of the wall from my computer
