WiFi 6E offers a faster alternative to traditional Ethernet connections.
My Ubiquiti equipment shows surprisingly high latency, even when many other devices are connected. If this is real, then those who say APs slow down gaming likely haven’t tested it themselves—maybe they just follow the advice of someone at subway wearing a polyester hat. I believe WiFi works well in dense spaces, and I don’t face these problems. If you’re experiencing issues in an apartment with devices 20-30 feet away, the issue probably lies elsewhere—like between your keyboard and chair or a poor ISP connection.
It's not mainly the latency itself, but how quickly activity changes causes spikes that can ruin competitive online play. Regarding WiFi support in crowded spaces, do they have proper planning and channel management to prevent interference? In busy settings like apartments with many routers on the same frequency, overlapping channels often happen, making it hard for the network to distinguish signals. Professional setups usually avoid this by careful configuration.
