How to see latency and packet loss
In recent titles, the options sit in Settings, under Interface, in a Telemetry section: turn on Server Latency and Packet Loss. Menu names change between games, so look for “telemetry” if you can’t find it.
On console
- Connect your PS5 or Xbox straight to the router by cable.
- Avoid background downloads during matches.
- According to GearUP, consoles are boosted through the HYPEREV router, sold separately, which also needs the membership.
On PC
- Use a cable and update your network driver.
- Stop launchers from downloading updates.
- Watch telemetry over a few matches: stutter with a clean network graph is usually your PC, not your internet.
GearUP code LEAVEN for Call of Duty with less lag
If your network is fine and lag only shows on the route to the server, a booster can help. According to GearUP, Call of Duty is on its supported games list, and its routing technology looks for steadier paths. Results depend on your connection; no booster guarantees a fixed ping.
GearUP Booster has a 3-day free trial that turns into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. If you subscribe, pick the 12-month plan, which has the lowest monthly price, and enter LEAVEN for 10% off. See the GearUP coupon code guide.
