I’ve never had any latency issues gaming over WiFi. Been running AC for so long now though, I can’t remember if it was any worse with N. I think way back in 802.11b days I’d have had issues?
basically any of the intel 802.11ac (or “WiFi 5”) chips are fine. the latest ones included BT5 (9260/9560), I think previous gen was BT4.2.
now intel’s “ax200” WiFi 6 chip is out and showing up on a lot of motherboards. It includes bt5.
you can also buy a pcie card, basically an m.2 adapter with antennae, to put one in a pcie slot if your board doesn’t have a dedicated m.2 2230 spot for WiFi built in. Most have a usb connector for the Bluetooth portion as well. They’re all over eBay for like $20 or so, some even are bundled with the WiFi cards.
I use a UBNT router and AP, latency or issues can come from using a junky provided router period.
Some people can feel a difference on wifi vs ethernet, but those are also people that have to play at 1080p vs 1440p bc they can feel latency.
You know you are one of those people, bc you're making a ton of $ streaming.
Otherwise use whatever works.
M.2, pcie, etc.
Were the PCI adapters using external antenna? I have an eGenous USB 2 wifi adaptor that I was going to try this morning, except I now misplaced it and can't find the fucker. I think the last time I speed tested it, it is was giving me full bandwidth. I think I tested it for jitter and latency too and no difference from laptop or pci card in my other rig.I use a Netgear A7000 USB 3.0 adapter. Seems to work great for me. My AP is on the 2nd flow and PC is in the basement. Still get 300-400mbps on the link via Speedtest for my Spectrum Cable Internet. I have had PCIe adapters but sitting on the floor in the case they do not get the best signal or speed compared to the USB one I now have. Connection speed to the AP according to the software says I have a 1300Mbps connection.

can you toss me a link to your exact model on Amazon? Also, have you tested it for jiitter and latency using the Windows CMD polling commandYes but they still sat behind the case, between the wall and the case back and on the floor. The USB one is above the monitor on the window sill, so about 4 foot higher. The signal strength and connection speeds, and transfer speeds, increased immensely. I would get maybe 100mbps off the the mounted one compared to peaks of over 400mbps off the Netgear. I did have a cheaper USB adapted that was not as fast as the Netgear A7000 is. It is a nice unit to be honest, The connection is a 5Ghz one and like I said goes through two floors.
Any suggestions on a good combination BT and Wifi PCI card?
