High ping rates cause lag. The higher the ping, the longer it takes for the signal to reach a destination and bounce back to the source.
Here are five true and tested ways to lower your ping and enhance your online gaming or streaming experience.

Unfortunately, in the age of the “wireless everything,” wires seem to offer the highest internet connection speeds imaginable. So, plugging in that cable might be the answer if you want to keep that ping at bay while blasting Fortnight or Roblox at full capacity. Remember to choose the right wire! Some cables can handle internet speeds of up to 40 Gbps.
QoS, or quality of service controls, lets your router prioritize certain traffic in your favor. Adjusting your QoS setting is like opening a tap for gaming and closing one for other types of traffic. In other words, optimizing your network setting can benefit your online gaming and streaming experience.
Applications and software running in the background devour your internet connection speed. If you want to lower that gaming ping, pause or close your apps, like download managers, system updates, and browsers. Sometimes, smart home devices can waste a significant amount of connection. Let those smart fridges and vacuum cleaners be offline for some time.
Selecting which server you connect to makes a difference! Distance is critical here, so selecting gaming servers that are closer to your locations means less ping, which means one thing — a smoother gaming experience.
1. Select “Settings.”
2. Hit the gear icon.
3. Select the game tab.
4. Find “Matchmaker region.”
5. Select “New region. “
6. Auto-select “Region with the best ping.”
7. Restart the game.
VPNs usually slow down your connections, but on rare occasions, they can improve the connection and lower ping while gaming. Popular VPN providers with a significant number of servers around the globe might have servers that could potentially create an optimized route to gaming servers, resulting in lower ping while gaming online.
