To fix the high ping in Roblox, you need to go to “Advanced settings” in the Windows Defender Firewall.
Then, add a new inbound rule and enter “49152-65535” as the port.
Lastly, re-open Roblox, and the high ping should be fixed!
If you’re experiencing a high ping in Roblox, you’re dealing with a connection problem.
According to Roblox, the problem is caused by Firewall.
In some cases, it can be the result of a low-bandwidth connection or an inconsistent wireless connection.
The port range in Roblox is “UDP 49152 – 65535”, so you’ll need to add it to your Firewall settings.
This is to allow Roblox to properly connect to your router.
Your Firewall or Anti-virus program might be blocking Roblox as well.
To fix this, you need to unblock Roblox from your Firewall and security programs.
Here’s how to fix the high ping in Roblox:
- Open the Windows Defender Firewall
- Go to “Advanced settings”
- Go to “Inbound Rules” & add a new rule
- Select “Port”
- Select “UDP” & enter “49152-65535” as the port
- Click on “Next”
- Click on “Next” again
- Specify the name of the rule & re-open Roblox
1. Open the Windows Defender Firewall
The first step is to open the Windows Defender Firewall.
On the bottom navigation bar of your computer, you’ll see a search bar.
Search for “firewall” on the search bar.
Once you’ve searched for “firewall”, you’ll see a “Windows Defender Firewall” search result.
Click on “Windows Defender Firewall” to open your Firewall.
2. Go to “Advanced settings”
After you’ve clicked on “Windows Defender Firewall”, the Windows Defender Firewall will open.
On the page, you’ll see the state of the Windows Defender Firewall for private networks and guest or public networks.
On the left sidebar, you’ll see multiple options.
This includes “Restore defaults”, “Advanced settings”, “Troubleshoot my network”, and more.
Click on “Advanced settings” to go to the Firewall advanced settings.
3. Go to “Inbound Rules” & add a new rule
After you’ve clicked on “Advanced settings”, you’ll land on the “Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security” page.
On the left sidebar, you’ll see multiple options including “Inbound Rules”, “Outbound Rules”, and “Connection Security Rules”.
Click on “Inbound Rules” to open the inbound rules.
After you’ve opened the inbound rules, you’ll see a list of inbound rules.
On the right sidebar, you’ll see multiple options including “New Rule…”, “Filter by Profile”, “Filter by State”, and others.
To reduce the ping on Roblox, you need to add a new inbound rule.
To add a new inbound rule, click on “New Rule…” on the left sidebar.
4. Select “Port”
After you’ve clicked on “New Rule…”, you’ll land on the “Rule Type” page.
Firstly, you need to select the type of rule that you want to create.
There are 4 types of rules including “Program”, “Port”, “Predefined”, and “Custom”.
In this guide, you’ll need to select the “Port” rule type as you need to add a UDP port.
Click on “Next” after you’ve selected the “Port” rule type.
5. Select “UDP” & enter “49152-65535” as the port
Next, you need to specify the protocols and ports to which the rule applies.
Firstly, you need to select whether the rule applies to TCP or UDP.
Select the “UDP” option as you need to add a UDP port.
Next, you need to specify if the rule applies to all local ports or specific local ports.
According to the “General Connection Problems” article, the port range for Roblox is currently “UDP 49152 – 65535”, so you need to select the “Specific local ports” option.
Then, enter “49152-65535” as the port and click on “Next” to proceed to the next step.
6. Click on “Next”
After you’ve specified the protocols and ports to which the rule applies, you need to specify the action to be taken when a connection matches the conditions specified in the rule.
There are 3 options including “Allow the connection”, “Allow the connection if it is secure”, and “Block the connection”.
By default, the “Allow the connection” option is selected, which is the right action.
Hence, you just need to click on “Next” to proceed to the next step.
7. Click on “Next” again
After you’ve clicked on “Next”, you need to specify the profiles for which the rule applies.
There are 3 options including “Domain”, “Private”, and “Public”.
By default, all of the options are selected.
Hence, you just need to click on “Next” again to proceed to the next step.
8. Specify the name of the rule & re-open Roblox
The last step is to specify the name and description of the rule.
Specifying the name of the rule is compulsory.
On the other hand, specifying the description of the rule is optional.
Firstly, specify the name of the rule and enter it in the “Name” field.
An example of a rule name is “Roblox High Ping Fix”.
After you’ve specified the name of the rule, you can add a description.
Since adding a description is optional, you can skip it.
Once you’re done, click on “Finish” to add the inbound rule.
Now, re-open Roblox and try playing the same game again.
This time, your ping should be reduced!
Conclusion
A high ping on Roblox can make the game unplayable.
If you’re still experiencing a high ping in Roblox, you need to check if your location setting is correct.
This is because setting the wrong location can cause a higher ping in Roblox.
To do this, you need to go to your Roblox settings by clicking on the gear icon followed by “Settings”.
On the settings page, you’ll see your account information including your location.
If the location that is selected is not your country, you need to change it.
For example, if you live in the United States, click on the location dropdown box and select “United States”.
Then, save your changes and try playing a game on Roblox again.
