Hi All,

 

I have recently bought a new TP Link AX55 router as our other one has been getting pretty old.

 

I have however found that, despite having a stable connection and downloads/video streaming has been great, any time I try to launch an online game such as Valorant I am met with ridiculously high ping and packet loss making things unplayable.

 

May anyone assist in any troubleshooting or potential fixes that may help resolve these issues?

 

Would a factory reset help at all?

 

Screenshots below show current settings, DNS has been set as per my ISP's instructions when setting up a new router:

Hi@amca 

For High ping issue, please try the suggestions:

What can I do if I get high ping?

 

For packet loss, please try:

1. Check Your Connection:
Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi for more stability.
Restart your modem/router.
2. Reduce Network Load:
Limit the number of devices connected to your network.
Pause large downloads or streaming on other devices.
3. Choose a Closer Server:
If you're gaming or using a specific application, select a server closer to your geographic location.
4. Update firmware:
Ensure your modem and router are up-to-date and capable of handling your internet speed.
5. Monitor Network Performance:
Use tools like PingPlotter or WinMTR to diagnose issues and track ping and packet loss over time.
