Fifa 20 ping - Ps4

[Amrragab]

I am having hard time with My XR500 i don’t seem to be able to get ping less than 40-50 Ms most of the time . Not sure what to do more than what i have done . Last thing i tried is to only use ping assist set to 30 and set my home location in the middle of the Ocean  And the results was getting a game with ping 112 ms

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Where roughly are you located? Are you using QoS at all? What is your exact physical setup?

[Amrragab]

Iam in New York USA .and yes Iam using Qos . Modem to router wired cat 8 Ethernet cable , ps4 to router wired . Max internet speed is 400mbps.

Your console definitely doesn't need that much bandwidth so I would just reset that, it will use 1mbps at most for gaming. Are you using Traffic Prioritization? Put the home location back to NY with a 1000km radius and put PA to 0. Also do a speed test directly from your ISP modem/router when nothing else is using the internet, what ping do you get?

[Amrragab]

Ok i will try that again that was how it was to begin with But what is the point of having the PA if it does not actually work ? Set up to 30 but the games are getting are 40-50 ms and all the way up to a 100 and more . !!

update - i did everything you told me to do and the connection is actually worse than what it was getting high ping over 60-70 ms , the game experience is terrible, players like they have sand bags tied to their foots and the The opponent is way faster than me during the game play ( FIFA 20 ) iam tired of thisThing !!  i think this router is a waste of $250 . Everything is connected wired my base ping is 20-25 when i tested it. What is the problem !!

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay so 40-50ms will be about the lowest your game ping could be based on your base ping. Remove the manual rule for your console in Traffic Prioritization, it's already covered by DumaOS Classified Games so that won't help. Where did that appear for you as it is a player in Canada which explains the ping.

Now i have another problem , i did factory reset on my router and i can not connect to the internet at all ? Blinking internet light all the time . Before the reset the router has the latest firmware update . When i do the 30-30-30 reset role i get blinking power LED and nothing else .HELP PLEASE .

Can you access the interface at all? Do you have internet through your ISP hub?

[Amrragab]

I got it fixed thank you . I just bought VPN Subscription through express VPN can you share your insights on that and do you think it will help ping on ps4 at all ? I have not set it up on my XR500 yet . Thank you !

[Netduma Fraser]

Great to hear that. I don't think it will help personally as using a VPN adds extra hops and latency. I see that some FIFA players use it though with some success so worth a try.

[Amrragab]

I will give  it a shot and let you know thanks .
