I have entirely replaced tv with doom scrolling
Yay?
Honestly, my place isn't that big, but I can cover the whole place with a single wireless access point, and get fast, reliable, stable connection everywhere.
In the room with the AP (my home office and gaming PC) I have zero jitter, zero packet loss, and 2ms ping.
Wire hasn't been needed for a good connection for a long time
And what is in the closet?
Wtf dude, that was the example you provided, and then you mocked it. Make up your mind.
If it was a shitty example, why did you use it?
What would be a good example of things people commonly want and have access to but that wireless cant do?
Dude, what you're describing is not a "good setup overall".
I know I'm not sweaty, but what you're talking about goes beyond being "sensitive" or not. Wtf is wrong with your wifi that you're getting any packet loss.
I just ran a speed test multiple times from my phone in another room, and got jitter under 20ms, and packet loss between 0% and 0.1%
My gaming PC with external antenna in the same room as my wireless AP is going to get even better results.
edit:
for kicks i tested my wireless gaming PC too:
ping: 2ms
jitter: 0ms
packet loss: 0%
So I'm curious what kind of performance you're expecting to be noticeable to a casual or even sweaty non-pro player.
I mean, beam forming is a pretty common feature of these routers.
Not everyone is comfortable drilling walls and installing plates, stripping wires, etc. and CAT cables aren't like simple copper electrical wires.
And not everyone wants to have cables running along their floorboard and up their stairs
I eat my pizza rolls cold, like a savage
I've been playing FPS exclusively on wireless for almost 15 years (802.11n 5ghz) and stability has been fine unless you set up your access point far away from your gaming PC for some reason.
Back then you had to get a pretty nice wireless router to do it, but it still worked fine.
Now days even relatively cheap routers will let you game just fine unless you set up far away from the AP and you're in a pro tournament.
I was really kind of expecting that we'd get a preview unfurl for the article, my headline makes a lot less sense without the context 😞
Realized interest is supposed to count as income, but there are so many tax loopholes that it's crazy
