@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.

Dear EA! Why are you lying? I'm facing every day with server lag. This make every single online match frustrating as hell.
Why don't you tell the truth? EA servers are bad, lag all time! It's so hard to tell the truth once?

  I get the frustration folks i really do, I've got literally 0 tolerance for lag and will just hop game if i start experiencing lol.
  I would kindly ask for you to go easy on @EA_Aljo though. The troubleshooting probably doesn't help, however for the sake of process of elimination its a necessary step just to confirm that the issue isn't at your end.
  Meeting an offer of help with an aggressive response isn't really much good to anybody lol. ^.^

    @MandatoryIDtag I'm not sure you fully grasp what is being addressed here. What happens with more consistency than what most would believe, is when situations like this happen, they go through a checklist. If the checklist doesn't yield a solution, they can say "We did all we can do."
    
    Cable, phone, and other service companies use this excuse to send techs out to charge for needless services, but in this case it's being used as a red herring to absolve themselves of responsibility because they did all they could do
    
    We've been dealing with this single issue (among others) for at least 5 seasons. Same issues with EA/Respawn. Same approach from EA/Respawn, same rhetoric from EA/Respawn. Except this time, some of us who've been here since day one, we ain't buying it anymore.
