I've been struggling with lag in games for a couple of weeks now and I'm really confused about what's happening. It seems to affect only my computer, which is connected via a TP-Link RE305 extender. I've replaced the extender with another model, changed the cables, and updated the drivers, but the problem persists. I'm on Windows 10 and need urgent assistance—it's becoming really frustrating.
Use a WiFi scanner to check for nearby devices or a 5th channel. Interference might be the issue.
I agree with Donut417. Wireless is handy but can be inconsistent depending on the load. Look into the wireless frequency in your region and see how crowded it is. Also verify the signal strength on the extender. The most reliable way to get a stable connection is by running a physical wire. If that's not feasible, powerline adapters might provide more consistent performance.
