Lag and freezing issues in apex on ps4
I play Apex on ps4 slim, and I have, for the past week or two, have had the game completely freeze for a few seconds, and then play completely normal for a bit, and then freeze for a few seconds, and...

@maximas1986 Usually, the ping is very good around right at 60, sometimes above, but for the most part has ran good regardless. It has only recently been doing this sort of lag/rubber banding.
@YooHooc10222 Any joy since or is it still the same?
- @GH0STEDbyME Hello, and it's still the same mostly. I haven't been able to get a wired connection because the location of the router.
- @YooHooc10222 Gutted to hear that for you. I know how frustrating laggy games and rubber banding can be. Are you far from the router or is it just awkward to get to?
- @GH0STEDbyME A little bit of both, I'm afraid.

@YooHooc10222
the problem is he said it's only Apex having this lag, I know that Apex is more sensitive for connection quality but there must be something else.
I don't think it's the game otherwise there will be a lot of others complaining
there are a couple of possibilities for this issue
1. the router itself has a problem ( usually old routers start to lose signal )
2.someone at his house sharing his internet connection for watching movies or downloading or online gaming which can cause such issues.
you need to do a speed test ( use speedtest.net).
then monitor for wifi signal drop, use your mobile and watch the wifi signal bars.
try another router if possible.
there is one thing you could try but it's a little awkward you have 4G connection on your mobile, use it as a hotspot and connect your PS to the mobile internet service and try it, don't worry it will not consume a huge amount of data, you need to troubleshoot this issue - @maximas1986 We had just replaced our router, actually.
@YooHooc10222 mmmm, then i believe the only thing that you can do is get an exorcist to cleanse your consol hehe 👿
- @maximas1986 On that note, I appreciate all of your help, all of you.
- @YooHooc10222 don't give up, just try to fix this issue step by step.
and try the mobile hot spot, it will help you with the trouble shooting - @maximas1986 I noticed. Just wanted to chase it up to see how he was getting on with the problem as I noticed nothing else had been said/ updates been posted.
@YooHooc10222 Sorry to hear that the router placement is in a tricky position. You're not going to want to go wired if it's too far anyway. If @maximas1986 troubleshooting idea doesn't work then maybe it's just a signal strength issue? You might have to buy one of those plug in signal boosters (apologies I can't remember the actual name off of the top of my head).
