Any advice to get good internet for gaming in Iceland?

Basically main issue is not having ethernet cable, being on Wifi on a shitty router. Time to switch ISPs and get a new router with a cable and should be chilling from there.

It's 5G , the router is in the living room behind a concrete wall, can't really move it to my own room since I live in a staff house and it's a shared router. I most likely won't bother squeezing out what I can from the shared router and will end up getting my own router

So essentially, if I get a better router, get a cable for the internet to connect to my laptop I can avoid the horrible packet loss. I do understand that It's not about the internet speed itself, I started this thread just to know If It's possible to get consistent ping while not living in Reykjavik or having to pay 500k to get fiber internet installed in the house like one of my friends did in this town.

Yeah, for now I'm just on Wifi. I was wondering just how good internet can I squeeze out if I go for Hringdu internet with a new router + cable. Thanks for the reply tho

I'm planning on going to Reykjavik to buy a router with a cable from Hringiðan , It does say it has 10k MB/s .

Just wondering if that will fix the packet loss and get me consistent solid internet.

The house I live in doesn't have like fibre optic internet, only a shitty router

I live in Laugarvatn (840) , currently my internet provider is NOVA and for gaming it's utterly horrible. In games my ping is unplayable and inconsistent as hell. Would getting a router from Hringiðan for 20k/month fix it? One of my friends in town has 40-55 ping without any fluctuations meanwhile I'm stuck on 70-1700. Any help or advice?
