    If you arent sensitive to jitter, packet loss, etc., and the various ways games react to it, then im happy for you.

    Personally, i and many others hate it. It only takes 1 rubber band moment in a shooter to ruin a round, it only takes 1 round to lose a match. Even if you aren’t playing super sweaty, its not fun. Even my wife who only games casually noticed the difference between wireless vs wired in a few different shooters after i ran a wire to her new desk. And we do have a good setup overall.

      Dude, what you’re describing is not a “good setup overall”.

      I know I’m not sweaty, but what you’re talking about goes beyond being “sensitive” or not. Wtf is wrong with your wifi that you’re getting any packet loss.

      I just ran a speed test multiple times from my phone in another room, and got jitter under 20ms, and packet loss between 0% and 0.1%
      My gaming PC with external antenna in the same room as my wireless AP is going to get even better results.

      So I’m curious what kind of numbers you’re expecting to be noticable to a casual or even sweaty non-pro player?
