Insane gaming Lag spikes RBR50 Router please help
Hi, so I have been messing with these orbis for awhile now and this is my first post because I cannot figure this last piece out. I’ve struggled for about a month settings these up and so far I’m not very satisfied with them.
Anyways the problem at hand is that when I am gaming my ping is alright. My ping says it’s 30 in the test, but in game it’s 80. 80 isn’t great but it’s tolerable. The worst part is that every few minutes my ping will shoot from 80 to 300 and it’ll kick me out of the game or it’ll make me lag so bad that the game is unplayable.
My Orbi set up goes from Router - Satellite 1 - daisy chain - satellite 2. I am plugged in with an Ethernet cable to satellite 2. I am on a PC. I am using an Orbi router RBR50 with firmware V2.7.2.104 installed. The Orbi satellites are both RBS50 with the same firmware V2.7.2.104 installed.
I struggled for awhile to get the internet to even work, but it works fine now. When I test the internet it says it’s great but then when I get into game it lags.
It would be great if someone could give me some troubleshooting ideas.
Thank you

I'm using a similar set up,
RBK50
RBS50 X2
Not set up in dasiy chain though due to house lay out.
I'm on xbox one s.
Xbox must be connected via ethanet cable to satellite or it "lags"
On xbox .............."NAT"........... must also be open, if it's on "moderate or strict" I will get chucked out of a game in less than 3 mins.
I'm not sure how play stations work, but it may be worth a google.
Sorry in advance if I waste your time.
Kind Regards
