So I used to have lag spikes when playing on wifi but then when using an Ethernet cable everything was ok. Now I moved to a new house and I don’t have an Ethernet plug in near my gaming space and the problem is back. So any solutions? ---

Lag Spikes as in connection or in terms of Frames Per Second? ---

Now I moved to a new house and I don’t have an Ethernet plug in near my gaming space and the problem is back. So any solutions? Did you understand what you wrote? If you clearly sorted out that your lagspikes where caused by a wifi connection and the solution was to plug in a cable how should someone here help you now to get rid of your lagspikes when you´re back on wifi? 1.No one else should use the connection during gaming. 2.Distance should be as small as possible from gaming spot to wifi spot. 3.Try joining servers with small player amount (16-32). 4.Try local servers with lowest ping (10-20) Other then that the only solution for a stable connection is an ethernet cable. May the Force be with you. ---

I can’t plug the Ethernet cable in bc the only plug in the house is by the router which is hidden behind a small wall, but thx for the other advice. and may the Force be with you too. ---
