Fix Genshin Impact Mobile Network Lag and High Ping
Source-checked · About 10 minutes
Answer
Pause other downloads or streams, then compare the same Genshin Impact server on Wi-Fi and mobile data. Use the connection with lower, steadier ping, and restart only the slower connection. Network lag causes delayed actions or disconnects; choppy animation with normal ping is a performance problem, not a network fix.
Enter the same Genshin Impact server and watch for delayed character changes, delayed item pickups, or disconnects while the latency value rises. If only the animation is choppy while actions respond normally, lower the game's graphics settings instead.

Pause traffic using the same connection
Pause app updates, cloud backups, downloads, and video streams on the phone and other devices sharing the connection. Return to the same area in Genshin Impact and check whether the latency becomes steadier.
3
Compare Wi-Fi with mobile data
Close Genshin Impact, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data or from mobile data to known-working Wi-Fi, and reopen the same server. Keep the connection that produces the lower, more stable latency.
4
Restart the slower mobile connection
For mobile data, turn airplane mode on briefly and then off. For Wi-Fi, restart the router and wait for the phone to reconnect before reopening Genshin Impact.
5
Verify the improvement in the same place
Repeat the same movement or combat action on the same server. The network fix worked when actions register without long delays and the latency remains steadier instead of repeatedly spiking or disconnecting.
If it does not work
If both Wi-Fi and mobile data remain slow, update Genshin Impact and use its current cache-clearing option before testing again; HoYoverse lists both steps for persistent high latency.
If the problem continues on two working networks, send HoYoverse Support the server region, time, provider, UID, and a screenshot or recording of the latency and disconnect behavior.
