RAX200 optimal WIFI settings for PS5
Hi, I’m wondering if I could get some help setting up my new router (RAX200). I purchased this router to get the best WIFI performance with my PS5 as I’m unable to connect direct to the router. I’...
If you're speeds are greater than 250mbps, then I'd disable qos.
In terms of speeds, If you're connected at a 816mbps (link speed), you're fine. It doesn't take much throughput for gaming/streaming. Even a 4k stream only needs around 20-40mbps. So you're already supplying the ps5 with a better connection than it needs for gaming/streaming. Plus without knowing the size/structure/distance issues of your home, its tough to say if 816mbps is a reasonable expectation for you. 5ghz speeds/link rates drop off quickly with distance/obstructions.
In terms of improving performance, its more about lower latency than it is necessarily about speed (once you hit a certain speed, and you're there). You can improve latency issues by hardwiring in the PS5 if you're needing to cut some ping times off.
