You're dealing with a common issue where Wi-Fi performance drops in certain games. The fact that you're using a decent router and have tried some settings doesn't seem to be resolving the problem. It might help to explore other options like upgrading your internet plan, checking for interference from other devices, or considering a more powerful router if possible.

Your latency to game servers is dependent on their location, not your WiFi. If a server is halfway across the country, you're going to get higher pings. There's nothing you can really do about it unless there's something amiss with your ISP's routing.

Purchasing a router priced at $200 or more likely won’t make a significant difference.

How close are you to the router in your room? A budget Ethernet cable might be a better choice than upgrading to a new router, offering better value.

Your Zephyrus G14 lacks an Ethernet port, but you can use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter or connect via Wi-Fi if supported.

Amazon.com offers a USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter that connects to your network. It supports speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The black model is designed for Ethernet use. If this doesn’t work, you can return it.

I happen to have a hdmi to ethernet cable lying around. Is there any difference on these two in terms of latency? Sorry i just wanna get the most of it.

It's uncertain if your HDMI port supports Ethernet input, but using the adapter could work.

It seems the HDMI connection on the laptop is intended for visual output, not for network use.

It seems the best approach was to avoid using Wi-Fi altogether? That’s pretty unusual—Wi-Fi is usually a necessity. I doubt anyone would expect me to think that way!
