You’ve moved into a new apartment and noticed persistent lag during gameplay. You’ve already tried basic fixes like resetting the router, unplugging it, and testing on another network. The issue seems consistent across all networks. You followed an online guide for reducing latency but are unsure about its effectiveness or next steps. A forum thread you referenced discusses similar problems with packet loss and high latency. Your current metrics show around 5% packet loss, very low minimum latency, extremely high maximum latency over 1000ms, and average in the 70s. It might help to investigate further network configuration, consider a different router, or check for ISP-related issues.

Choose your connection: Ethernet or WiFi.

You're roughly six meters from the router, and there are no walls blocking the view. Running Ethernet cabling might not be practical due to the room's setup.

You're dealing with a crowded WiFi environment in an apartment building where many people are using the same network. The issue really lies with you. Even at 5GHz, interference is likely. It seems the wireless channels are probably too busy.

You've already checked the setup carefully, yet your latency remains unchanged. This suggests the issue might lie elsewhere—either in your router's configuration or with your internet service provider's network.

It varies. With a separate modem and router, connect straight in. If using an all-in-one device, it complicates things. You might attempt a trace route to a site like Google to check the outcome.
