Just cause 2ghz is more widely used dont mean 5ghz is gona be clearer, Anything that transmits data wireless can and will interfere with wifi, plain and simple. farther the signal has to go the easier it is to interfere with. Your cell phone, radio signals, remote controls all of it can and will interfere with it.
Simply put it the problem is still there when wired then probably router issue, but if it is not it simple wifi issue, cause by some interference.
For years i used Wireless mouse and keyboard with the receiver less then 6 inchs from both the mouse and kb, kept tell my self i dont see difference between wired and wireless, until i switch back to wired and low and behold i saw huge difference.
I can also do either Wired or Wireless on my pc and it is about 3 feet from the router. and there is difference between wired ping/ms and wireless ping/ms that is noticeable speed might be identical but ping are not, not to mention the random ping spikes wireless gets from random interference which even more noticeable in multi player games/mmo
There will never be wireless option that CANT be interfered with. or is better then wired at lest not with current tech. and even then i doubt it.
Streaming stuff dont care about your ping times it just cares if the data keeps flowing and acceptable speeds. 1 could have 1000mbit connection and have zero issue with streaming but if they have 500ms ping (example) said MMO/ Mulitplayer games will play like trash.
To each his own but wireless is not good idea for gaming which why most use wired still. But if you have no choice in the matter, and have to use wifi, then you have no choice in the matter that wifi will always have chance to be interfered with play having with your ping. which is what is happen.
I am not arguing this point with you. I am simply trying to help the OP figure out his problem and also show him some meaningful tips. BTW have you seen his pingtest results? He is fine. I agree, and i only game using a wire but i also get that for some people it is just a game and they could care less. So please stop because all your doing is using vague examples and exagerations.
At least with what I showed him he can actually see what the difference in latency is for himself.
