PS4 Packet Loss & Freezing
Initially with an internet test on the PS4, my internet speed is decent enough at 20-30 Mbps and when I'm in the Apex menu the ping is fairly low at around 30-40 and it says 0% packet loss. However, when I'm in-game I get the icons on top that deal with packet loss and latency. I also have a few moments wherein I freeze or rubber band. I've had better games with slower internet speed actually, so I'm kind of confused.
This has been going on for a while now. Is there any fix for this? Or what could be the root of the problem? I've already tried changing my DNS. I'm on a wireless connection because the internet source is too far for a wired connection.
Hi there, @seldg.
The problem is that you're on a wireless connection. Wireless is unreliable and prone to disconnects/lag. Especially when the signal has to travel through walls and/or floors. This gets worse when there are other devices sharing the same connection. It's worse still when anyone is streaming media while you're playing. Until you get wired, or at a minimum, closer to the router, this will continue to happen. You can try changing the wireless channel you're using. That may help. Also, try researching a powerline adaptor. This has been an excellent solution for many that are too far for a wired connection.
