Ugh, this is really annoying.

I’m giving up on this Wi-Fi setup. It’s only ten feet away from my computer. I bought a brand new router for $150 with a solid TP link, and fiber internet at 500/500 Mbps. I did mention the router is close to my PC, but it still causes me a lot of frustration during gaming. I’m planning to buy an Ethernet cable instead. The original plan was to avoid having the router in the middle of the room and then run another cable to the PC—just not worth it. Really disappointed. If you have any tips I haven’t tried, feel free to share. It would’ve been better if I hadn’t changed my router or ISP and saved money. Man. Sheesh.
They were wondering about the Wi-Fi connection, but they thought Ethernet would be the better option.
I didn’t expect it to be so bad. What’s cool is I can play cloud games on 4G LTE. I get that they rely on big cell towers, but still. It seems like a router just 10 feet away could perform as well as a tower half a mile away.
Due to powerline's unstable performance and its reliance on wiring quality, it won't match the efficiency of other wired options. Latency is also a concern with this method. Consider using a wireless survey and sharing screenshots from both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It would be useful if you provided the exact wireless router model, along with the WiFi settings screenshots. Please ensure any passwords are masked.
if you have fast internet and want to use it wifi is a bad idea simply. maybe it works for some, for the majority it doesn't... ex: 1 have 100mb dl, with wifi thats cut to 50mb ... for no reason, my wifi is supposed to do much more... granted its super stable, but thats because there aren't many people around here at all, so no congestion.
I agree with the performance assessment; the main factors are wiring material and signal length. WiFi often falls short compared to wired options, especially in crowded environments like apartment buildings or dense cities. The tenant also lacks authority to modify building infrastructure, which limits Ethernet setup. WiFi 6e could help by utilizing higher bands while occupancy remains low. Stronger signals are possible at shorter ranges due to higher frequencies.
