Cables for Ethernet connections
Examining the setup of connecting two desktops inside your home through Ethernet cables to the modem, you notice significant packet loss during gaming. The additional cost for upgrading from Cat 6 to Cat 6A over the 30 meters you’re considering is about $5 more.
If you have the surplus, I’d proceed with it, though it’s only essential for 10Gb speeds (CAT6 works well beyond that). My main concern would be keeping your Ethernet cable clear of power lines.
I’m trying to fix the packet loss you experience while playing games. It seems like your wireless connection might be the issue. I haven’t used an Ethernet cable before, but I’ve had similar experiences in the past.
