Lowering ping

So my ping sits around 22ms, using the WiFi enhancer (which often doesn’t work or disappears on the app) it lowers my ping to 14ms which is great

but after I’m playing a game it reverts to 22ms

obviously the facility is there to reduce ping via WiFi enhancer but is there a way to switch to a lower ping profile - similar as was available using ADSL?

I tried Phoning EE broadband tech support but the girl knew less than I did about broadband latency

@Bullstein That's just the way, smoke and mirrors! Not many using that feature which never seems to work!

There never was! You thinking of lowering the Noise Margin?

Regardless of how they could lower ping on ADSL, with wifi enhancer they can, so there should also be a way if turning this feature on permanently

@Bullstein The EE info for you, not working then you need to get to the EE specialist team who deal with the product and it's operation via the app and router!
