What’s the criteria?
Speed and reliability? Snakeboi.
Ability to move around unimpeded and/or taking a dump while being on Lemmy? $350 router with spikes.
And if prison rules, I’m going router with spikes…
Idk… I’ve got some pretty long snakey bois
SAME…ladies?
Are you hitting the max yet? 100m
There are also the glass snakey bois that you could use.

An image titled “who would win?”
On the left side is an image of an Asus RT-AC5300 Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Router, a square, black router with a red line around the side near the upper edge, and 8 antennas coming up from the bottom. The text beneath the image reads “A $350 router with scary spikes”
On the right side is a blue Cat6 ethernet cable. The text beneath this image reads “A $3 snakey boi”

Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you’re easily saturating that line either way.
Only if latency doesn’t matter. WiFi has a lot more jitter, no matter if your WAN connection is 10 or 1000mbps.
What crap are you doing that so intensive WiFi causes latency? It’s essentially a negligible difference unless you are saturating the signal. We’re taking less than 3ms for a reliable round trip.
Wi-Fi has constant retransmissions. This adds perceptible latency because the checksum check, turnaround, and packet transmission add a lot of time compared to the speed of light through air across 3 meters.
Few Ms. It’s absolutely unperceptive.
I handle a lot of internal support for a dev outfit.
“My shit’s slow.”
“That’s because you’re on wireless at your house. Not my problem, but I’ll try to help. Can you hardwire it?”
“That would be IMPOSSIBLE!”
“Suffer.”
Depends, am i routing data or cosplaying the lich king?
Fucking millennials. Learn to multitask.
Wrong generation
I’m pretty sure the love for Warcraft III evenly splits X and Y.
Indeed, i’m genx
Have that router. Snakey boy wins.
You must have forgotten to sharpen the spikes 😹
How do you find it? Do you manage the scary spikes?
If you flip it upside down it’s a Halloween spider decoration.
Doesn’t matter, I’m on 5g home internet (about 10 times faster than the best wired option and 3 times cheaper) and I’m not about to drill holes into the rental or run cable on the floor to still have higher than average ping. I don’t play multiplayer games.
Why am I being downvoted? I have shit ping in games with 5g internet and the marginal improvement that going wired from the modem to my computer would bring isn’t worth the work.
Because it’s 4ms round trip with your router. 5g isn’t fucking Wi-Fi. You’re conflating the two.
My favourite thing is to hear people talk about having ‘great WiFi’ as if that is an internet connection.
I used to work for spectrum. I’d say around 60% of people legit do not know the difference between wifi and Internet. No wifi means no Internet, to them. Makes some trouble shooting harder
Them: “The WiFi is down.”
Me: ‘… No, I still see the TV & the laptop & Pi, on the network.’
Them: “I can’t connect to Flipboard.”
Me: ‘Ohhh, the internet is down. It’s probably at the cable modem. Wait a moment for it to failover to wireless, then try again.’
Them: “Yep, now the WiFi is back.”
Holy ducking hell you nerds.
A 5ms round trip isn’t causing noticeable latency in games.
You are just bad. Stop blaming your router. You sound as dumb as idiots plugging in controllers because they think they are a step away from being a pro gamer.
Well it’d be fine if it actually was 5ms round trip, however even with Wifi 6 you’re looking at ~90ms round trip, which actually is a noticable difference.
That link is full of shit 🤣 90ms 🤣🤣🤣🤣
