    ranked games have become impossible... a racing game shows a packet loss icon randomly, my character jitters, and once teh connection dropped completely:

    Im using a 5G home router. Ive restarted the router a hundred times. What should I check next?

    The speed test always looks great, which is why Im confused. My download and upload numbers are fine. smth else is clearly going wrong.

    if ure on Wi-Fi, powerline or mesh, test with a direct Ethernet cable for one session. if the problem diasppears, its the local link. wi-Fi interference often gets worse in the evening when neighbors are online.

    wait what sometimes it really is the game server or a bad route. If many players complain at the same time, its probably not your setup.

    @copper_monk891 omg finally ran a cable to my desk and the rubber-banding in a racing game is completely gone... a 5G home router was the culprit all along. seriously made my day 😭🙏
