While the internet isn’t hardware, your access to the internet directly​ impacts your ability to play online games.​

When connecting your device to the internet, wireless internet is easier​ as it doesn’t require much setup. However, connecting using an Ethernet Cable creates a more stable connection to the internet, which​ reduces ping and latency.​​

There are two metrics to consider when looking at your internet connection. Both of these metrics​ can be visually seen as ‘lag’ if your connection is unstable. ​

Ping – The time it takes data to reach a server.​

Latency – The time it takes data to reach a server and return back to a device.​
