Hi,
i recently got plusnet broadband and the speed has been up and down but useable. When i try to play with my ps5 online the ping is ridiculously high over wifi. I am basically sat right next to the router so not sure why this is happening.
i had sky broadband before and the ping was fine over wifi.
Hopefully someone can help.
thanks

I shouldn’t have 1000 ping when trying to play through wifi though.
i want to ensure this isn’t a deeper problem and if i needed to play via Wi-Fi there wouldn’t an an issue.

Try playing wired and see if you hit the same issue, if you do then there may be a routing / line issue.
If you don't then there's probably trouble shooting steps for the wifi - e.g. if you have a hub one you can try splitting the wifi bands.

Yeah ADSL, wired is fine although ping is a bit worse than when i had Sky Broadband.
I have a suspicion the poor wireless ping is due to a low quality router?

Trying with an old BT router to see if it makes a difference.
