    Yeah ive had 5ghz for ages as well. Use a channel scan to try and avoid my couple neighbors, Pretty decent hardware (not isp junk). House is small so max distance is only 1 wall and ~15ft.

    Honestly id just guess you arent as sensitive to it. Are you the type who doesn’t notice other types of screen related feeling stuff too? Like 60fps vs 120+, input lag, or screen tearing, micro stutter, macro blocking, soap opera effect, etc.?

    I’ve known plenty of people who are more or less sensitive to all the various ways things fuck up.

    If you are sensitive to the other things, then who the hell knows lol.

      I don’t imagine I’m especially sensitive to those kinds of things, but I don’t expect I’m especially insensitive to them either.

      I personally feel like it’s hard to get gamers to honestly self report these things, since being able to notice them is caught up on a lot of macho gamer ego bullshit. Whenever I see semi-rigurous tests, it turns out that people over report how sensitive they are.

      So do I notice those things? Yeah, I think I do, but I’m not confident in my ability to self report it.

      Have I ever experienced things like rubber banding and lag in the last decade? Of course. But rarely can I attribute it to the wireless network rather than server issues, since typically it’ll go away when I change servers.

      I will say that, personally, I don’t find a lot of value in >120fps unless it’s important to read a lot of moving text quickly.
