Good afternoon. Not so long ago I bought Xiaomi Mi Wifi 3. There are no complaints about the wireless signal, it distributes wifi perfectly, but I noticed that in games (in this case League of legends) my ping jumps. My normal ping is ~ 78ms. And now it fluctuates up to 90+, and continuously, i.e. not worth one number, but constantly changing.
It seems that the difference is not huge at first glance, judging by the numbers, but in fact, the character in the game lags behind the events by 1-1.5 seconds, as if the ping was 150-200. At first, I sinned against the provider. Then I tried to connect the cable directly to my computer, without a router and voila! Stands exactly 78 and does not move.
I don't know what can be done. I have a stock firmware. I read that many people use the firmware from Padavan. But I don't know if changing the firmware will help here.
Answer
Good afternoon. I think that the ping through the router in any case will be higher than directly. Even on the cable from the router, I no longer worry about Wi-Fi. Much depends on the router itself. From hardware and software optimization.
Xiaomi Mi-router 3 is far from a gaming router, it is not very powerful. Therefore, the ping grows a little when connected through a router. And it can change depending on the load on the router itself. 78ms is already a high ping for wired internet.
Try experimenting with the QoS feature. This feature allows you to optimize the speed for your specific device. Perhaps this will also somehow affect the ping. You can try to disable, or vice versa, enable this function (if it is disabled).
I wrote about it here: why the Xiaomi router cuts the speed over Wi-Fi and the Internet is slow.
You need to install the latest firmware from the manufacturer.
As for the Padavan firmware, it's hard for me to advise anything here. I have not tested this firmware on Xiaomi Mi Wifi 3. Perhaps the ping will be more stable, or maybe vice versa. It's just a little easier with the settings.
