Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good ping for gaming?
For competitive gaming, aim for ping below 50ms. Casual gaming is acceptable up to 100ms. Above 150ms, you may experience noticeable lag in fast-paced games.
How do I reduce gaming lag?
Use a wired connection, close unnecessary applications, forward game ports, and ensure your router's QoS enabled. Consider upgrading to a gaming router.
Do I need to forward ports for all games?
Not all games require port forwarding. Most modern games use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) or work through NAT. Check your specific game's requirements.
