Gaming Latency & Network Troubleshooting Guide for Ireland
Latency (ping) measures the round-trip time for a data packet to travel from your PC to the game server and back. For competitive FPS games, ping above 50ms creates a noticeable disadvantage — your inputs arrive later than opponents' on the server. Jitter is the variance in ping — even a 50ms average ping with 30ms jitter creates wildly inconsistent response times that feel worse than a stable 80ms connection.
The single most impactful improvement for gamers in Ireland is switching from WiFi to Ethernet. A wired Cat6 connection eliminates almost all jitter, reduces typical ping by 5–20ms, and removes the interference and channel contention issues inherent to wireless connections. If Ethernet cabling is not feasible, a WiFi 6 access point placed in direct line-of-sight will significantly improve stability.
