What crap are you doing that so intensive WiFi causes latency? It's essentially a negligible difference unless you are saturating the signal. We're taking less than 3ms for a reliable round trip.
There are lots of factors that can cause jitter on WiFi, and it's mostly outside of your control if you're living somewhere more densely populated. My apartment randomly gets a lot of noise, and as a result my WiFi starts to get unacceptable amounts of packet loss and jitter. It doesn't happen often enough to motivate the effort for me to go around signal analyzing, but still...
15 wired devices, kthx. Once & done.
No more "why's it down now"; no deauth attacks; no weird outages when highway traffic spikes from nav\music-streaming users getting tower timeouts that cause their WiFi to aggressively cry out for every known SSID.
With wired connections, I set it up once & it keeps working. With WiFi, it's a constant shouting match version of the Telephone game, with openly malicious actors literally headquartered a few blocks away.
Wi-Fi has constant retransmissions. This adds perceptible latency because the checksum check, turnaround, and packet transmission add a lot of time compared to the speed of light through air across 3 meters.
Few Ms. It's absolutely unperceptive.
I often will be downloading a film, streaming youtube or music and be playing video games. Latency matters to me and WiFi is just not stable enough
Can you not contradict yourself?
and playing video games. No offense, but did you read the whole comment? I need good latency for my games and I need it while downloading a bunch of other stuff. Idk if you've ever tried downloading a few torrents while gaming, but it'll definitely have an impact. Especially if you're on WiFi.
I did. Just pointing out uselessness of mentioning big downloads in context of latency. Just don't bring bad arguments.
Yes, but also setting up network priority(QoS), limiting torrent transfer speed and other stuff.
You're probably right, but I'm not a power user and nor do I care to be. I can make all my problems go away by just plugging in a cable and making sure I have good Internet otherwise. That's my point and what matters to me in this discussion
Something is wrong. None of this is perceptible to humans.
If you don't want to figure it out, cool. But it ain't the protocol causing your issues.
I'm pretty sure it's wifi from the neighbours interfering. I can't be bothered to deal with that, not when I have a cable laying around. Plus, no matter what, a cable will always be more stable than wifi
Wi-Fi adds like 4ms. It's not high latency.
