Lag and latency issues are usually the result of slow internet speeds, a weak wireless signal, a large amount of wireless interference, or slow response times from network devices. If you are experiencing latency issues while playing online, we recommend you do the following.

• Use a wired internet connection. Generally, Ethernet cables offer a more stable internet connection than WiFi, which may reduce lag spikes.

• If a wired connection isn't an option, try to move your console closer to the Wi-Fi router for an improved connection. Also, move any metal objects or electronic devices away from your system and wireless router as they may interfere with wireless signals.
• Shut down other programs that access the internet to reduce traffic in the network.
• Restart your modem or router to make sure your network device hasn't become flooded with data.
