I mean, you can get almost all games to run smooth on wifi but not with a bog standard laptop 3 rooms away no matter how good your router is.
a semi decent PC wifi card and a router capable of dual band and a high bitrate should work fine as long as you are not more than one room away. but most people do not have that.
An ethernet cable cost almost nothing and does more for most gamers than many PC upgrades would.

Cmon man
The Ethernet is incredibly clutch for console players too, legit some games were unplayable when more than one device was on the WiFi

People often underestimate how shit the average household router is. Even most $60+ routers can handle almost all games with little interruption but i think the average household in the world has like a $10-$15 router that came for free with the ISP subscription.

Also, Laptops have this terrible thing they do when using windows, that if the laptop is unplugged from the power, it’ll try save power, and this turns down the GPU/Wifi power to make the battery last longer.
Same here on a pc non responsive game play for more then like 1 seconds. In tanks ramming team mates, trees walls and other stuff. Planes crashing or getting shot in straight line flight. Setup 16GB / I5 4460 / GTX1060 6GB. Internet (Speedtest) ping 10ms / 825 Mbps download / 72 Mbps upload. This is been going for more then a week now. Could it be that the event (Ships) is giving the servers to much workload?

It more than likely isn’t the event doing it
Shouldn’t be, it’s more likely to be a route issue, or if it were timed with the latest patch drop, the distribution of the patch.
Wifi is bad if you use that at all, if you do for anything from satellite, to cellular, to just straight wifi in the home.
Currently no packloss over here, but just lagging players up to 400ms of ping. Causing all sorts of problems, they should be disconnected. Im getting shot being not in front of the guns. Making Energy / Turnfighting everynow then like what or how to say it nicely.
You don’t know other players ping so that’s just an assumption if anything.
