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.

    There are lots of factors that can cause jitter on WiFi, and it's mostly outside of your control if you're living somewhere more densely populated. My apartment randomly gets a lot of noise, and as a result my WiFi starts to get unacceptable amounts of packet loss and jitter. It doesn't happen often enough to motivate the effort for me to go around signal analyzing, but still...

    15 wired devices, kthx. Once & done.

    No more "why's it down now"; no deauth attacks; no weird outages when highway traffic spikes from nav\music-streaming users getting tower timeouts that cause their WiFi to aggressively cry out for every known SSID.

    With wired connections, I set it up once & it keeps working. With WiFi, it's a constant shouting match version of the Telephone game, with openly malicious actors literally headquartered a few blocks away.

    downloading a film,

    Latency matters to me

    Can you not contradict yourself?

    I did. Just pointing out uselessness of mentioning big downloads in context of latency. Just don't bring bad arguments.

    downloading a few torrents while gaming, but it'll definitely have an impact. Especially if you're on WiFi.

    Yes, but also setting up network priority(QoS), limiting torrent transfer speed and other stuff.

    Something is wrong. None of this is perceptible to humans.

    If you don't want to figure it out, cool. But it ain't the protocol causing your issues.
