Hey there, Benjji. Your setup sounds interesting! With both ports being Cat 6, using a Cat 6 cable from the router to your room should improve stability and speed. Since you're experiencing packet loss in Fortnite, upgrading to Cat 6 could help reduce that issue. Just make sure the connections are secure and properly seated for the best results.

Effect only if the cable is approximately 100 meters long. Note: Cat6 refers to the cable, not the port, which uses an RJ45 connector.

These guidelines work backward, meaning a 5e cable should not cause problems. The loss is likely due to hardware issues such as your router, switch, or network adapter. It could also stem from server-side or network interference affecting packets.
