Great, informative video. I wish you could do more tests on PS5 regarding ping and input lag. You’re the best!

[@DanielZH]

Thanks, will do! soon there will be new series of network tutorials and ways to improve it!

Please do 🙏

Excellent, in depth info, wonderful stuff my man.

Much appreciated!

Brooo no one would join me in remnant 2 since i bought the game i set MTU to 1500 and it instantly fixed it!!!thanks man👍🏻

Great 👍

@DanielZH what tools to did you use to check which Ethernet is needed and what tools to see what’s a really good size mtu for competitive shooter games like call of duty pubg

[@juniordarilson2300]

Other online games are fine but fortnite and efootball lag alot? What MTU settings should i use? Or any other solution?! Using a router with ethernet cable cat 5e my connection download speed when testing is 30Mbps

[@_Super_Dad_]

Hi, the only thing I can't understand on my ps5. why upload speed is so slow? like its around 900mb/s. download... but upload around 6-7mb/s .. only once i seen around 60mb upload... 😢

[@RaoufBeats]

Please make more videos about jitter, lag, and other online related stuff

[@DanielZH]

Sure will do!

[@bluewalnutt6859]

I have 20-15 mb download speed. 5 mb upload and play pubg what would be the best mtu setting? I can play most games just fine but lately I’ve had huge packet loss and lag spikes. I’ve had the same speed and internet for years but now I’m getting the same message for multiple game “packet loss”

[@TheBlkzr2]

Need Help. , Ok here is my current set up: 1gig symmetrical ISP service Hard wired ps5 (cat 8) Static IP router ports set/open (port numbers recommended from PS website) DNS set to google 8888/8844 VRR set TV is Samsung q90t Game is Tekken 8 Issue: low upload speed/high rtt/ high delay and rollback frames I have worked with my ISP and PS. The simple answer is that the ethernet port on the PS5 is trash. But here is where I am so bother by this. I randomly did a speed test (on PS5) and got 850mb down/700up. I took a picture. this result was only for 3 days then never again. Any idea as to what to do? Also, I have found that by opening the ports in the router, I actually increased my in game RTT. so that was a mistake. I am considering factory resetting all devices. I am so frustrated.

[@DrJovago]

So do you recommend leaving the MTU on auto? I have it at 1400 and it works fine.

[@DanielZH]

If it works fine, no need to do anything; otherwise, if you got any issues in the games, go with the default and once try 1500, in case you got issues.

[@alekznadder]

Isn't 1473 said to be better than 1500 to lower the ping because of smaller but more consistent fragments? I think someone tested it and said 1473 improves ping but lowers upload/download a little bit. but im not sure.

[@DanielZH]

For which game? Really depends on the game; on a universal test, it won't, and most games don't send huge packets.

[@alekznadder]

@@DanielZH I heard for competitive shooter games, to get as low ping as possible

[@DanielZH]

@@alekznadder You must test, if the idle in game ping shows lower value, then maybe yes, and compare when no other device is connected.

Hi, if you don't get errors on PS5 when testing the internet connection for packet fragmentation, you can leave it on default.

[@raijin5897]

Did you change your MTU? And if yes, to what?

[@TheBlueflameX]

Is there a solution for losing connection randomly? My ps5 is connected via cable, I have set my ps5s ip to permanent in my router and even did port forwarding for a while it has fixed the problem but lately when i turn on the system it still says that the connection is failed, is there a solution for this?

[@DanielZH]

Hi, there might be many reasons, but I recommend trying these: 1- Change DNS server (if the connection to the router is fine but the internet fails) 2- if you can, try using a different cable (if the router connection also goes off "Lan disconnection") 3- try using another port on your router.

[@TheBlueflameX]

@@DanielZH my dns is set to google 8844 4444 if i remember correctly, cable is fine it is basically brand new, tried another port already but unfortunately the problem still occured

[@krzysztofganski4144]

Hey I see you know much about the topic. I have some issues with Fifa connection... It happens to many times that the game is clunky and somehow pingpongs the ball in the opponents side, i believe it might be something with the connection. Could you make a film about Fifa PS5 settings as well as best Dualsense Edge Fifa settings??

[@DanielZH]

Hi, have you tried port forwarding or DMZ for FIFA? Here's how to do it for any game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGPLe6ePiZZ0o5Y with the FIFA 24, I'll make full videos for Connection, Edge and Graphics.

[@sugarmin4832]

Im using asus rt ax 86u pro router. It has 1492 mtu. But some people said 1472 mtu is perfect especially for rpg type games. Not sure if i should try manual mtu on my ps5 or just keep it at automatic.

[@DanielZH]

Hi, I'd say try it and see if you really notice a difference in your gameplay experience, but most of the time it's not going to affect the way many people think.

[@bounce12]

I have a kat 6 cable and was told to upgrade to kat8 cable!! I don’t know much about this stuff as I probably spelled the cable wrong lol. Anyway I just upgraded my internet and got the technician to plug my ps5 into a phone Jack that goes directly into the giga hub box without using my router anymore. I have way faster speeds and am at 40 ping playing nhl 24. Any advice to get my ping down to the 20’s?

[@DanielZH]

Hi, a Cat 6 Cable is more than enough for PS5. about the ping, that depends on the game server and your ISP, if there's a server of that game in your country you can usually hit 20ms or less. but if the game server is outside you'll get a higher ping, however, you can ask your ISP to see if they have options to lower the ping some provide services for that.

[@jackiemoon7559]

Thanks for the video!!!I change my MTU down to 800 on red dead Everytime I play to stay away from griefers but change it back to 1500,when I play other games,can that mess my ping up on other games,evin if I've changed it back to 1500?

do you have any method for hotspot i use my mobile to connect my ps5 to internet lately i reduced mtu to 1450 and my ping is reduced to 85 instead of 95 i need it for cod mw2

[@DanielZH]

Hi, SIM Connections have too many variables, Network Bands, Signal, IP, Location, Weather, and time of day, so you can't be sure that MTU actually helped with ping, but if it did, use it!

[@ahdgaming8164]

What if I set MTU on Auto? Will it set up best mtu? Or other else? Thank you for your video it’s very useful

[@DanielZH]

Hi, typically it tries to set it to max supported value, if it fails, it'll change itself (sometimes may not and if you get packet fragmentation and other errors like that you may need to call your ISP and change to a value they provide or they'll fix it)

[@igorcosta9515]

[@dangelells3792]

Danial nice video!! I have a question, I play a game called The division 2 on ps5, and in pvp there is a certain player that for sure takes less damage to be killed than other players, he is known for this. He doesnt look to be lagging but not all your bullets register on him. He posts videos on YT also and nothing seems obvious apart from taking less damage than his opponent in a 1v1 shoot out. People say he uses mobile hot-spot, vpn, mtu, DNS.... I would like to hear your opinion on this Daniel?

[@DanielZH]

Hi thanks, having packet loss in certine upload spots, limiting the speed in one direction, and many more things could be done for this to happen, it's cheating though, and every game has a different system, so they know what to do exactly, as if not, the game will kick them out.

I play from nigeria and I always get 189 ping or 200ping playing warzone ? Can you find a fix for me a means to reduce packet loose in my situation

[@DanielZH]

Hi, it might be because of not enough players in your region so it connects to another region, some routers can limit the geo to force game not going further but that could cause much longer times to find match, first see if there's a server of warzone close to your country, then see at what time people tend to play the most on that server, and if you can, try on those times to get better matches.
