    Lies!

    I see wi-fi antennae. What gamer settles for that?

    I want to go to an estate agent and say “I want a house so wired that if I down 82 redbulls and punch through the drywall after losing a round of Call of Skyrim, anywhere in the house, I should be able to reach in the hole and pull out a bale of Cat 6.”

      Wifi 6 is pretty amazing. I play on it since my apartment has a weird layout and I will not drag a cable from one side of the apartment (where the router is) to the other (where the office is located).

      Network latency averages somewhere around 5ms which is totally fine.

      We’re living with my grandmother temporarily, and we don’t want the risk of trip hazard so had to get a good WiFi router.

      It goes down whenever she uses the microwave - awesome for me, as I work from home.

      Also we’re tied to using her ISPs router because we didn’t want to risk losing her phone number and other dramas moving to ours, so the modem router we use is theirs, and it sucks and the first two have blown up in the space of a year - we’re on our third.

      Meanwhile our great equipment is sitting in plastic crates in the garage.

      Oh well. Do it for her!
