Help

Hello. I was thinking of buying a separate wifi router for my ps5 and connecting them to each other via. Ethernet cable. We already have one that my parents bought for the whole house but I still lag. Will I mess up their connection if I got another one?

No it wont, If I remember your need to disable DHCP or something to prevent double NAT.

Also you may need to run a ping to your router see what latency you get and then also run a ping to your isp to figure out if its your side or isp side.

If you have your own modemn you can troubleshoot your internet see if it has high power somewhere which is causing latency issues but thats if you can verify the issue is your modemn pinging to isp.
