I unfortunately dont have access to a wired connection directly to the router at my house as my parents use it for their main desktop. So after hair pulling terrible WiFi for years and years of PC gaming I got a $80 net gear power line a year ago. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Powe...ear+powerline&qid=1552801355&s=gateway&sr=8-3
This / the power line is a great source for stable connection as I believe it technically connects you directly to the router, I'm not a huge tech geek at all by the way. On WiFi, I spike often, and when multiple users are on the WiFi at my home it's UNPLAYABLE, so bad.
I game on the pc daily, I play counter strike which is very network intensive as there are practice modes where it can be and often is player vs player which is very aim reliant, When I practice my game I see the same results, often inconsistent, I feel the bullets / shooting in my game just don't land even when I know they should before the other player's does.
Also, When I download games I know my WiFi speed is MUCH faster like 5-6x faster than my power line (odd?)
Today, I unplugged my power line and plugged back in the wifi card to download my game quicker. I totally forgot to plug back in the power line for the first time and WOW my game practice was night and day different on the WiFi card since I last played on WiFi a year ago.
I feel like my power line holds me back gaming wise BIG time. I just have a few questions
Why is my download speed 3-5x quicker on WiFi?
Why doesn't my power line give me the same ping/ms?
How come ingame I notice a better connection on WiFi just less stable than my power line?
