High latency/ping on WiFi/Powerline throughout day

MK23 — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 14:32:44 GMT

Hi,

I've been getting really high ping/latency on my ps5 on all online games recently, this started happening in the evenings at first but now it's happening during the day.

This happens on powerline adapters as well as WiFi and it's so frustrating. Usually rebooting the sky router fixes the issue and I have tried everything from switching adapters to switching Ethernet leads.

I moved my ps5 from my bedroom to my office room but they are right opposite each other on the same floor and I had 0 issues in that room so unsure why I'm getting such a big difference in connection quality.

I currently have sky fttp 500 broadband

Hi @MK23

We will need you to run the test via direct ethernet because powerline can suffer the same issues as WiFi sometimes.

Have you got gigabit powerline installed...? Usually the case in this is when you're running below gigabit powerlines...

I recommend these all the time: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-PLP1000-100UKS-Gigabit-Powerline-Adapter/dp/B01N3YCC7R/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=Powerline+Adapter&sr=8-9 - Run this and never have problems on my Xbox One / PS5.

Maybe they're faulty, any other way of testing it w/o the PS5. If it's the same I assume they're faulty and need sending back and try the Netgear ones?
