I have an XR1000 with the latest firmware, but it's giving me high ping in PUBG. I have checked everything—WiFi channels, Geo-Filter, and every possible setting mentioned in articles. When I check the ping in the PUBG lobby, the XR1000 gives me 20 to 30 ms, while my TP-Link Archer router gives me 5 to 10 ms. Since the XR1000 is a gaming router and much more expensive than the TP-Link, why is it showing such high ping?
I also have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but the 5GHz WiFi signal does not show up unless I restart my phone. It appears the first time after restarting, and if I connect, it works fine. However, if I disconnect, I have to restart my phone again to see the 5GHz network. On my laptop, the 5GHz network shows up properly. I have checked the WiFi channel and bandwidth, disabled and enabled AX, but nothing has worked. My iPhone 16 Pro Max is a US model, and I bought the router from the UK.
The third issue is with the Geo-Filter. When I enable it and add my device, reducing the radius to my nearest server (within my country), the game works, but my voice does not reach my squad members. However, when I include the Europe server, voice chat works, but there is too much delay on the European server.
