X4S R7800 Higher Ping
Hi,
I recently purchased the X4S R7800 Router. I went through all of the set up this morning. I put my ISP gateway into passthrough mode and disabled the wifi. I've connected my PS5 to the Nighthawk via Ethernet, but when I load up a game of FIFA, I'm getting 60-70% higher ping than previously when I was connected to the gateway via ethernet cable. I'm seeing 46-48ms ping compared to 26-28ms previously. It's not an enormous change obviously, but I did want to reduce that as much as possible, as I don't think there should have been any difference.
Let me know if there's anything different I should try and thanks in advance for the help.

It might help if you told people what that gateway is.
Passthrough mode is one of those terms that can mean various things. A genuine "bridge mode" that disables the router bit of a gateway would also disable wifi – no need to tirn it off – because that needs a router to work Just turning it off does not mean that the router bit is disabled.
It's an Arris BGW210. I followed instructions online I found to set it to passthrough mode and turn the Wi-Fi off on the gateway.
Thanks for the added details. That could be invaluable information for someone who understands this stuff
Do the instructions you used tie in with this?

Bridge mode is the term I am more familiar with when playing with modem/routers like the BGW210. But bridge mode also means different things in different contexts. (Don't you love it in when techies use strange terms in different ways?)
Here is a more local reference:

Found with this:
Search - NETGEAR Communities – BGW210
I have also seen reports here of AT&T devices being a pig to put into bridge mode.
