Ex7500 nighthawk mesh wifivextwnder
I have the Netgear Nighthawk x4S TRI band wifi Mesh Extender Wireless mesh extender
Model 7500
I know I'm going to get ragged on for this but I have the Xbox One X. Note: I used to only have a 66 wireless strength signal now I have a perfect connection, and very much pleased ! Lol, some people I have a better connection than that have wired, it's kind of surprising.
Anyways to my point, most of the time I have between a 44 to a 56 ping. Everyone on the Xbox community says oh ping has nothing to do with your wireless setup, which makes no sense.
Is there a way in my main router settings that I could optimize my extender even more than I have it now, it says it's enabled perfect strength, I read it has up to 2,200 mbps , I'm only at about 87 mbps , 2.20 Mbps upload speed, 100 wireless strength, my ping varies I notice, on my Xbox One on my Microsoft edge it says I have a wireless ping of 11 MS, I paid good money monthly and I just don't understand why it doesn't show 11 Ms on my Xbox One if not 11 ms at least lower than 20 the best... Any tips on anything I can change in my router?
I have Frontier .
Thanks a lot

The problem with ping is that is many things impact it. Ping is simply the time measurement of when you send a signal to a server until you get it back. If you're simply going from your computer---router---isp-back then its short trip and therefore a short ping. If you're adding in multiple servers (like gaming servers) that it has to go through or those servers are located further away, the ping time increases. Or if you're adding in multiple hops like going from computer---extender---router--modem. Every hop adds a little more ping time.
Things that can help with your current setup? Hardwire the xbox directly into the router.
Or you can try upgrading to a gaming router that runs dumaOS. Its optmized to reduce ping but it still isn't going to help a ton.
