Xr500 Xbox series x high ping
I have 10-20 ms higher ping on my new Xbox series x compared to my Xbox series s. I use wired connection. I connected them both to same Ethernet cable testing each w the exact same connection. Is ther...
Pa. I connect to the same server every game. If I make it any smaller I would never find a game on pubg.
I believe there is a server in Ohio that you could try and force that would get you a better ping, or Virginia
- Ok. I haven’t been connected to Ohio server in years. It doesn’t really explain the difference in ping between the two consoles tho. 🤷♂️ Thanks for trying to help.
- Connect just Xbox that usually has the higher ping and make sure the other one is completely off (not in instant on/power saving mode), does it then have the lower ping?
- No it’s completely disconnected. No power at all.
- I don't follow, with just that Xbox connected is the ping as low as the other xbox usually is?
- Xbox series x is the only console in my house plugged in and connected to the internet. I can unplug the x, plug in my Xbox series s and pull the Ethernet cord from my X and put it in the S and my S will have 10-20 ms less ping.
Either my X is broken out of the box or the Duma software is not liking the X for some odd reason. This is what I’m trying to find out and fix. - Make a manual rule on Traffic Prioritization, source 1-65535, destination 1-65535 TCP/UDP normal, apply to wan, then check the ping please
- 38-36 ping after changes. Jumps to 45ish when plane flys overhead or a fun fight.
- Okay so doesn't really appear to be a router issue as that rule prioritizes the entire console above every single device on your network, you could try putting the Xbox in the DMZ as well and see what it is then but if it's no different then it's definitely not on the router side
