    What’s the criteria?

    Speed and reliability? Snakeboi.

    Ability to move around unimpeded and/or taking a dump while being on Lemmy? $350 router with spikes.

    And if prison rules, I’m going router with spikes…

      Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you’re easily saturating that line either way.

      Only if latency doesn’t matter. WiFi has a lot more jitter, no matter if your WAN connection is 10 or 1000mbps.

        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.

          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.

    Holy ducking hell you nerds.

    A 5ms round trip isn’t causing noticeable latency in games.

    You are just bad. Stop blaming your router. You sound as dumb as idiots plugging in controllers because they think they are a step away from being a pro gamer.
