All,

I am not networking expert, so I have a query.

Currently using a 300mbps TPlink PCIE card. PC is sat in room directly above router, which is the standard sky one for 80mb fibre. I get about 50/15 speeds, which are very stable.

Playing online, I am seeing pings of 20-35, often being the lowest of those playing.

I always assumed wifi cards posed a greater lag, but having run a 20m cat6 cable, I still see 20-35, and network tests end up the same.

BF1 and online for other things work fine, just wondering whether something is happening behind scenes that I'd benefit from hardwired.

Cheers

I'm a gamer myself, 50% of the time i use Ethernet, and 50% i use wireless depending which computer im on at the time, or if the girlfriend and I are playing games together. On the odd occasion I have some packet loss (on wifi) when playing league of legends but it normally sorts itself out within a few seconds after loading into a game and everything runs as smooth as if i...
