Question My DualShock 4 and Wireless keyboard experience "lagging and disconnecting"
Here is the issue I've been facing for about two years. My wireless gadgets tend to lag, drop out, and stop functioning properly when trying to connect to my PC. The Logitech G PRO Superlight was the first device I acquired around four years ago, but it still has this problem. I’ve tried returning old units and swapping them out, yet the issue persists. Over a year ago, I upgraded to a completely new PC, replacing all connected peripherals except for my mouse and internet router. Now I’m left wondering if one of those devices is interfering with my Wi-Fi—possibly due to my router’s configuration or faulty hardware. I’m unsure how to fix it myself and am considering whether a replacement might be the best option. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Update your post with detailed hardware specifications, operating system details, and power supply information. Include PSU make, model, wattage, age, and condition (original, build, refurbished, used). List all connected peripherals. Review Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for error codes or warnings around lag times. Use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer to analyze performance changes during lags—use each tool separately. Run "ipconfig /all" via Command Prompt to check wireless settings. Ensure all data reflects the current system state accurately.
At the moment, I have no wireless gadgets linked to my PC apart from my mouse that functions perfectly.
Check for any error messages, warnings, or similar entries in the logs.
For "ipconfig /all", here are three quick recommendations:
1) Make sure Speed and Duplex are set to "Auto" on the wired adapter.
2) Turn off IPv6.
3) Update DNS servers to Google at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
I will attempt the software you suggested as soon as I can.
1. It was already set up automatically, the other two I modified.
Now none of the games recognize the controller. I performed a repair, edit: it appears to be random—sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t......

I checked the original DNS Server IP addresses (212.200.191.166 and 212.200.190.166). They seem to belong to Telekom in Serbia. Is that your ISP and is this normal?
The router's default IP address, according to some documentation, is 172.22.22.1. Do you know if the router was set up in its default or factory configuration?
The "ipconfig /all" output shows the network router is configured at 192.168.0.1 – which is quite typical.
I’m wondering if there could be more than one router connected. Should only one active network router be present?
What other devices are installed? Modem, router, modem/routers – any details?
Model and specifications? How are the devices connected?
That is my ISP! When I got the internet they just installed it and haven't made any changes on site as far as I know, right? I can check.
Yes, I have another router, a Wi-Fi range extender - TPLink TL-WA850RE. I've had it for a few years now... Could he be the issue or the way I set it up?
Edit: there is another router but only for the TV from a different provider, and it's on the other side of the house.
Edit: I unplugged the Wi-Fi extender from the wall and still had the weird lag. Sometimes when I press keys on my controller it doesn't register or when I let go it registers like I'm still holding it.
Edit: Is DS4Windows it must have open when I try using my controller over Bluetooth? I tried using it but I still had the same problems. Should I download it again? My friend is using the same controller without it and has no issues...
Examine the modem and routers closely.
Only one router should have DCHP enabled.
Can you share a simple sketch or diagram illustrating all your devices and their connections, both wired and wireless?
Most home networks follow this general layout:
Connection path shown as follows:
ISP === (coax, DSL, fiber) ===> Modem ----> [WAN Port] Router [LAN Port] ----> [LAN Port] Office Wi-Fi Access Point ~~~~> Wireless network devices
Other router LAN ports connect to wired devices.
You can adjust and correct your diagram to fit your actual network setup, adding details like access points or extenders.
Please include all ISP connections (coax, DSL, fiber)...

This extender?

Are you able to provide the make and model of the router for that TV model? How is it connected?
What static IP addresses and subnet masks are used in your network?
I think you might have several routers assigning DHCP IPs, which could cause conflicts.
