It was extremely laggy for me last night. First game, one of my teammates lagged out. That's not really anything new as I've seen this often as far back as throughout Season 6. But then the skipping started. It was as if I was losing frames and a lot of them. Shooting at enemies that weren't there. I'd rubber band a bit too.

I'm on a wireless connection on PS5, but that's not anything new for me. I've been playing wireless on PS4 literally since Apex launched and I got it downloaded. Only in recent seasons do I recall having lag issues.

Can you switch to a wired connection or is your router too far away?

  @EA_Aljo its too far away. But again, I've been playing Apex for two years on wireless, among other games. It could just be a temporary issue. I'll see if it persists. In general, Apex has not been a game I've had lag issues with before.

    I get what you're saying, but wireless is a lot less stable than wired so disconnects and lag are to be expected. A good solution for many in that situation is to get a powerline adaptor. You also can try enabling QoS (Quality of Service) if your router supports this. It might help to change the wireless channel you're on as well. Regardless, staying on wireless is going to provide a far less stable connection than wired so disconnects and lag are to be expected.
