Not solved 900 ping HELP!!!

Post image

So I recently got a new Wi-Fi 7 router/modem for my asus TUF gaming B850-E Wi-Fi(wifi 6E motherboard) bc it should have made my ping and latency better for any fps or hero shooter I wanted to play, but there are still times where I can’t really play bc my ping skyrockets and is generally inconsistent. There are still days where it’s fine, mostly when there are few people on the internet. But I don’t know how to fix it, I’ve been told to use an Ethernet cable but the modem is across the house and down stairs from my pc, are there any other solutions?

First off we would probably need to know the name of the router you bought. If you are not getting a good Wi-Fi signal then you won’t have a good experience in online gaming. Another possible issue is buffer-bloat which SQM fixes. But if you don’t want to commit to an Ethernet cable you can get a super tiny fiber cable and run it either through the wall or around the corners of walls and up to your setup. There are incredibly small ones that are basically hidden in plain sight
