Does router speed affect ping?
Posted On: June 11, 2023

I currently own a 150 Mbps router, and I am playing MW3 on PS3 with about 75ms to 100ms ping.


Does getting a new 300 Mbps router make a big difference? Would it reduce my lag?


Question from user Cem22lp at gaming.stackexchange.


Answer:

Probably not. The biggest thing you can do to improve your performance is to purchase a higher-tier internet speed with a larger bandwidth. As you've probably figured out, the 4 mbps you're getting is nowhere near the limit of your router (150 mbps). This implies that the router is more than capable of handling the data you're sending through it, and the likely culprit is a lower-tier internet connection.
