Problems with online games on PS4 [Nighthawk AC1900 C7000v2]
So I've been unable to play online games on my PS4 since I switched to this router. My games constantly lag and skip whenever in an online game for any of my games. It's not a problem with my internet speed, even when I'm plugged in via ethernet directly to my router and getting ~80 mpbs I will still be lagging to the point where the game is unplayable. I have tried port forwarding with my device (although I'm not 100% sure I did this correctly) to no avail. I have tried changing the channel of my WiFi to a less crowded channel and this has not solved the issue either. My NAT type is type 2 as well. I can provide any other information/pictures to anyone who can be of help. And thank you for your time whoever reads this!

Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
Be sure there are not coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.Does gaming with the game device on a wired connection exhibit the same problem?
What is your speeds UP and DOWN that you pay for?
I am also having this issue and I see it hasn't been answered. I have done all the ports and whatnot. NAT type 2. bad lag. ps4 says I am getting 30-40 down and 10-15 up. which is plenty i had less lag when it was Nat type 1 on 7 down and less than 1 up. so please if anyone can help with a website link that is preferably not from 2014.. because it must be out of date it did not help. thank you. I specifaically bought this router to open my Nat because i know it can be done, i am just not smart enough it would seem.
- Never mind. I just drilled a hole and moved the whole thing to the game room so I could plug it straight in. Works fine plugged in.
- Still getting this problem, hasn’t been solved. Was using my neighbors WiFi but now with them all working from home that isn’t an option. I am plugged into the ISP service box, I don’t know about the quality of the cable, is there a high probability that matters? I pay for 100 mbps and wired connection still results in bad lag.
