Reduce ping in Rainbow Six Siege (Rainbow Six Siege) and fixing lag
In Rainbow Six Siege, a duel behind a wall or hatch is decided in a fraction of a second. If Ping or Packet Loss is high, “I shot first” becomes different from “what the server saw”, and that is where the feeling of unfairness in the game comes from.

- First measure your raw internet without any app; in Pingura’s Network Analyzer look at Ping, Jitter and Packet Loss.
- Test the game at the same hour you usuallyً play; network congestion differs at peak hours.
- In the Pingura client, choose Rainbow Six Siege from the game list. If it is not in the list, submit a request to add it from the support section.
- Test the available routes and pick one with both lower Ping and lower Jitter and Packet Loss, not just a smaller Ping number.
- Connect and watch the live connection quality for a few minutes; if the route is unstable, move to another route.
