Reduce Network Lag & Jitter

Stability Tweaks

1

Change Server Region

Pick the server purely by lowest ping, not language or preference.

2

Use 5GHz WiFi (if available)

2.4GHz has interference from microwaves and neighbors. 5GHz is cleaner.

3

Close Streaming Apps

Netflix/YouTube on other devices in the house will cause massive jitter.
