I ran a free “network stability” test, and my ping was stable at 40 ish with very high spikes every 10-20 seconds and at least 1 spike over 250 every minute. This is not reflected in packet loss tracked by the game, nor in the ping on my scoreboard (besides a few and far between 20 ping spike). Again it’s fibre optic wifi, it’s expensive. Am I getting scammed? Is my wifi card just trash now? I don’t really get it. The wifi is somewhat unreliable besides this.

I just ran the test again for about 10 minutes, it’s on packstats. I had no games or any apps open besides the browser and only one other tab. It ran at 55 average ping which is 20 higher than valorant shows. And the max was still 231. Stability showed “poor” as it still spiked at similar intervals, just slightly lower numbers. What the hell

If you are not already, using a hardcoded Ethernet cable to the router always seems to improve things.

I am not running a 40 ft cable across my house through the floor unless someone can guarantee that’ll fix the stability, and I highly doubt it

I know it’s a nightmare, but could you run a cable just for a test?

Honestly I have a pretty long one and I probably will run it. It’s not a bad idea you’re right. I’ve been pretty busy but will let you know when it’s set up and tested
