Question Wireless input delay exclusively on desktop PCs ?

[Icediamondshark]

So for basically months now I've been struggling with unplayable amounts of input delay when using any wireless connections on my pc. It was a problem with my old pc, and I've kept searching for answers, but nobody responded to my posts on reddit. So I was like surely It's because my pc is too old. It was way out dated by that point. So I upgraded to a completely new setup with r5 5600, rtx2070s and b550m pro4 mobo. Exact same issue.

And you could be asking, well then clearly the problem is with the wireless adapter I'm using then. Well, I used that adapter on my school laptop, no delay, and then tried bluetooth, no delay. Surely the problem is with the monitor right? Well, I've connected the laptop to my monitor with an hdmi cable. No noticable delay. At this point I am so desperate I'm thinking I will be forced to use a wired connection no matter what. I would be happy to hear if any of you have suggestions as to what I could do.

When you say input delay do you mean online gaming or just general typing such as using search box to find something or things like typing in a word document ?

In reality it should not make any difference if you are using ethernet or wi-fi , slow or delayed inputs are usually caused by viruses , malware or things running in the background that you may not be aware of so their are a few things you could check.

Look in start up menu and disable everything except Realtek audio manager and anti virus.
Look in add/remove for any items you dont recognise and delete them.
Run malwarebytes and see if it finds anything , if it does then repeat until it finds nothing because the program does not always find multiple segments on first pass.

Yeah, when I'm talking about input day I'm talking about completely offline functionality. The input delay is completely neglegable when connecting wired.

@Icediamondshark

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

Make and model modem, router, or modem/router if combined? What and how many network devices?

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt. Copy and paste the full results herein.

= = = =

Also, I will add the suggestion that you apply some of the other available Windows tools in order to observe system behavior.

E.g., Task Manager, Resource Monitor, Process Explorer (Microsoft, free).

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Use all three tools but only one tool at that time.

Boot the system and wait until all is stable. Then open the tool window and simply explore and watch as necessary.

Leave the tool window open and viewable. Then do some things that you know or expect will be delayed. Do not be in a rush and wait a bit between each action.

Watch the tool window for what changes, happens, or even stops happening when the wireless input slows

Indeed watch networking related parameters but do not ignore other processes etc. that may be running.

Also consider that there may be more information available. Look in the router's logs (if available and enabled). The logs may be capturing some relevant action or problem.

Who has full admin rights to the router? You will need help from that person.
