crowded wifi with a guaranteed shit router means you will never have any less than 200ms

Dude the speeds are 100mb down 50 up

that's not the problem

idk about latency, I could only ping google.com on the wifi on my phone and it was around 50ms

So is that wifi card any good for recieving the speeds capable?

I'm no expert on wifi technology

lfmao wi-fi only? there is a fiber plug in every room here. based statefunded internet architecture.

he's going to be living in an old building, not the new ones. Ofc there's no fiber plug.

I've heard the wifi is really good from the residents living there

Keep in mind these are macbook and iphone loving people

>dorm
well if they do 802.11 only then you're fucked for gayming anyway

the sheer amount of 2.4ghz noise and devices will make it hard to play vidya

what is best case scenario?

200ms?

i'm not much worried about latency

but rather packet loss

My friend lives in a dorm, he uses an wifi card in his pc, he lags in fps, something like 90-100ms

if you can ping from your phone with a terminal emulator, try ``ping -s 1000 -c 5000 8.8.8.8``

1k packet size, 5000 times, google dns

actually

make it 1000 times, that should be enough and end quicker

and check the packet loss

at the end

@Austin that's not bad wtf

it enough for him to lag, that's for sure

also check ping times to the router

it's to the point where he just went back to wow because of the lagh

if it's shit weak device it will take longer to reply due to the traffic

alright I'm rich what chinkshit do I buy this time

actually I should refrain from buying chinkshit before Christmas because the post office won't be able to handle it

buuuut

wait for the singles day

apparently chinkshit is sale that day

@Austin it's just like black friday but chinky really

Like US Black Friday or the shitty EU black friday sales?

some things are really on sale, other things they raise the price the week before then drop it to normal

more like the US in that it's massive

much bigger than US or EU

I was thinking about the offers, not as much as the scale

last time I remember a good chunk of my wishlist was properly on sale

Oh coolio
