Gaming router? (alien.top)

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.

with 20-40 ping, I suppose you are already using a LAN cable, if not, use one. WiFi is slower.

FTTH (fiber to the home) internet can help a lot too (as opposed to cable or DSL), but 20-40 is already not bad.

wifi is not noticably slower. 2ms maybe
