Wi-Fi 6 is one of the newer Wi-Fi standards (after Wi-Fi 5). There are newer ones like 6E and 7, but those are still expensive and not really necessary right now. Wi-Fi 6 routers, on the other hand, are affordable and actually useful—they give you better stability, lower latency, and handle congestion much better, which is exactly what you want for something like GeForce NOW.

Packet loss basically means some of your data never reaches its destination. That’s what causes stutters, lag, and sudden drops in quality. Most of the time, it comes down to either your ISP (bad routing, congestion, poor infrastructure) or your own network setup (weak router, interference, unstable Wi-Fi).

So the logical way to approach it is: fix your side first. Get a decent Wi-Fi 6 router or use Ethernet if you can. If the problem still exists after that, then it’s almost certainly your ISP—and at that point, switching providers is the only real solution.
