Latency Jitter when gaming

My Wi-Fi has significant latency jitter when gaming. Ethernet is completely stable, but Wi-Fi causes VALORANT Network RTT Jitter to spike to around 40–50 ms. I’ve also tested the laptop on a phone hotspot and VALORANT is smooth.

@TRTR3 the most likely cause of jitters is poor WiFi. That is why if at all possivle an Ethernet connection is preferred for gaming. Simply rebooting your hub can help as the hub should find a less congested channel to use.
