maxprime@lemmy.ml 10 months agoI wonder about ping. Will it ever be on par with Ethernet for online gaming?

Single channel WiFi probably is unlikely to get to sub millisecond response timesas it is shared air time for both send and receive of all devices, wifi 7 multi link might help if it can route some traffic on different channels but over all I never expect it to get close to what wired Ethernet can do.

However, for the majority of people (basically exclude professional gaming) below 10ms will be perfectly fine and not noticeable at all, the importance of 6E wasn’t it’s speed but it’s improvement on more consistent connections, if WiFi 7 can improve on this, it’s a benefit to gamers and worth upgrading.
