I did a little latency testing this morning to see the difference between my onboard (asus tuf x570 plus) gigabit ethernet and WiFi5. Router is a rt-ax86u.
I was seeing about 1-2ms in extra latency with the WiFi option. The concern however is not so much that but the occasional lag spike up to 68-70ms that would happen about every couple dozen packets or so. The antenna and the router were very close together though they did not have line of sight. I was on the 5ghz band.
I've been kicking around the idea of throwing a WiFi6 NIC on the computer either a USB option or alternately a 1x PCIE card.
Are these latency spikes likely to still be an issue in that configuration?
