Networking: routers for online play
A router only affects online multiplayer — it does nothing for a single-player campaign. What matters is the consistency of the connection under load, not the headline speed on the box.
What actually matters here
Metodología de Picksights
- Latency and jitter decide how a session feels; raw download speed stops mattering well below what most plans provide.
- QoS or a gaming-prioritisation mode is what keeps a download elsewhere in the house from ruining a match.
- Wi-Fi 6/6E helps most when many devices share the network, not when one console sits near the router.
- A wired Ethernet run still beats any wireless standard for a stationary console — buy for coverage only if wiring is impossible.
