Some info to help diagnose:
- I get around 15-30 ms ping.
- I can download about 200 Mbps via WiFi.
- It says I am using 5G.
- If I were to play the game wired on my work PC, it runs 100% fine with no rubber banding. That PC gets 1000+ Mbps and also has fast ping.
- QoS is enabled.
- WiFi generally works well for everything but Diablo 4. However, I don’t play any other multiplayer games, so I honestly can’t say if it’s just Diablo 4 or all multiplayer games.
- My gaming PC is not that far from the WiFi device - it’s the same condo space.
I could really use the help since I’d rather play on my couch with my gaming PC than use my work computer.
Thanks!
Make sure your drivers are up go date and you have the game installed/running on SSD.
Both those things can mimic lag.
I have issues when nvida drops updated drivers. When I see the slightest performance issue 99.9% its a driver update.
QoS is not a one device setting, what is set on one device needs to be supported and enabled on the other. Is possible the router QoS for WiFi is optimized for video streaming, perhaps try disabling it.
Yep, my drivers are all update for everything. Also, it’s running on my 2tb ssd. I use this ssd for lots of games - it’s fine.
The game, every 10 or 30 seconds, wants to sling shot me back, and my attacks just don’t do anything during this time until it wakes up again, which is 3-5 seconds. It’s very annoying. It kind of happens like clockwork. I don’t really have a session where everything is good for 10 minutes and then it happens for 30 seconds. It’s constant.
My next thing isnt helpful but there is a process to figure out if its your isp.
Check the technical support fourms or be patient I am sure someone will chime in.
Something to try: Control panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center, on the left Change adapter settings, right click your wifi and properties, configure, go to advanced tab, select wireless mode and change the value to 802.11a/n/ac or ax. There is also unplugging your receiver or disabling and re-enabling it in the device manager. Lastly, an unlikely problem might be is your receiver is overheating, so you might have to replace.
Had the exact same issues on wifi, My Dad ran a cat-6 cable up to my room and PC and have not had these rubber banding issues ever again.
Yes, stop playing on Wifi

Or at the very least, get a better wifi router.
I never had good luck with Wifi gaming. I even got one of those Orbi 860 Series, meh
When you don’t own the router this can be impossible.
Assuming all configuration options have been exhausted, then there’s not much you could do except to bare with it until Blizz does some sort of optimization of their netcode.
But given the semi-regular nature of the problem I doubt there’s much optimizing they can do.
WiFi still has channels within a band… Log into your router and try a different channel.
If you use a WiFi extender, it can add noticeable latency.
Luckily our entire family are gamers and my dad who setup the network works in IT so we have that going for us and it didn’t take much from me to get him to run a wire up to my room directly to the router.

Wired really is the best method.
Yup wired here even with the router on the other side of the house. If memory serves its 100ft cat 7, no issues at all.

It’s the one that comes with rogers.
Keep in mind most computers use a 1GB (1000MB) network card. So you are talking to the router at 1GB, not necessarily the internet itself.
Anytime you are viewing your connection and see a speed listed, that is the speed between you and the device you are connected to. This does not represent the speed of the internet at all. Internet is often slower than that, and can be faster than that, if for example you had 10GB internet, but your router only had 1GB connections. Well then you would be capped to 1GB and not able to go the full 10GB, but fortunately this is rare.
Just some knowledge.
Cool, buy a wifi router from Bestbuy or a local electronics store and ask Rogers to help you bridge it with the current router.
Historically, the “Wireless Gateways” that ISPs provide in Canada turn out to be 
, particularly when it comes to WiFi. Though I’d be skeptical of wired performance as well, but that’s harder to remedy.
