Make sure your router isn't buried in a drawer somewhere. Keep it in an open, elevated space for better signal.
Close any background apps and other devices hogging bandwidth. More bandwidth for your games means less latency.
Check your TV's settings—use 'Game Mode' to reduce input lag, and you'll feel a difference instantly.
Hot take: Sometimes, ISP quality makes more difference than anything you do locally—consider an upgrade or switch.
