I maintain a consistent ping of around 40 in Valorant while my team averages 17-7. To boost it, consider exploring alternative DNS settings or other optimization techniques.

DNS won't fix your ping issue. The only way to boost your ping is by linking directly from your PC to the router using a cable. Anything else needs networking skills or changes from your ISP—which won't happen.

Consider using a wired internet connection if available. If not, keep an eye on your network usage while playing, close unnecessary programs and web browsers, and manage downloads. The next step would be improving your internet connection from your provider, though that may be a last option.

Connect to a nearby server. A location like Chicago may have a shorter delay than Seattle, Washington.
