Hi everyone, I will be soon moving into my UNI accommodation in a few weeks and unfortunately my room is a fair distance away from the router meaning I will either have to use WIFI or powerline to make a connection to the internet.
In my experience WIFI has been pretty terrible on all adapters for gaming, I have tried a couple of TP link and netgear USB adapters and they are fine for video streaming and general web activity but when gaming my ping is unstable and I get a lot of rubber banding/ping fluctuation. This happens on all the PCI and USB adapters I have tested however WIFI on other devices like my games consoles and laptops seem to be much more stable for some reason.
I have heard some mixed things about the Homeplug Powerline solution do any of you recommend this and is it as stable as a normal Ethernet connection? Thanks.
