I play a lot of Fortnite and usually run about 20-40 ping and was wondering how to reduce this. I was thinking about a gaming router but they seem very pricey. If a gaming router isn’t the way is there other methods to reduce my ping. I have very limited knowledge on this subject, thanks.

To where did you measure the ping? With such a low latency, it almost sounds like a speedtest within your providers network, which can differ a lot from real world experience on game servers outside your providers network.

Even dns.google and one.one.one.one give me about 5ms advantage to any game server.
