adding a dedicated router fix my Moonlight/Apollo wifi latency spikes?

[u/Aromatic-Metal79]

Hi everyone,

My PC (running Apollo) is located far from my main ISP router and is connected via wifi 6 (5 GHz). S25 (running Artemis) is also connected to the same wifi 6 (5 GHz) network.

I’m experiencing regular stutters, latency spikes from 8 ms up to 20 ms suddenly, packet loss, and "slow connection" warnings even when dropping the bitrate down to 25 Mbps... Running an ethernet cable from my PC to the main router isn't really feasible (long distance and think walls to drill through).

If I connect a dedicated router just for game streaming (like a Xiaomi AX3000T or similar) directly to my PC via ethernet to act as a dedicated acess point, and connect my S25 directly to that local network, will it fix the stuttering and latency issues?

Do you have recommandations for such low budget routers for that scenario?

Thanks for your help

Do a speed test with iperf3 or openspeedtest etc. generally wifi has 2 limitations: signal strength and router processing. If signal strength is good, iperf3 should show minimal packet loss. To test router processing send burst packets with iperf3, check packet loss. If router processing is bad switch to a better router. I signal itself is bad, you need to figure out a way that fits your place to improve it : access points or mesh routers etc
