      Dude waited 11 months of lurking and not posting or commenting anything, and breaks their silence with that attractive string of knowledge. I’ve got mad respect for them.

        I’m a nerd too but come on, he’s replying to an obvious joke with high school physics. There are more layers, do you want a more pedantic teardown?

        • Most likely, the “Wi-Fi speed” the Reddit poster needs to improve is the data rate, not latency.
        • The data rate can be improved significantly by increasing RSSI with a better physical setup, WDS, higher power etc. However, if the rate is too low at full bars, the bottleneck is the ISP plan or hardware specs.
        • The latency cannot really be improved without changing hardware or software, as the highest impact one can influence is in processing by the router and device. Some settings such as DNS cache size can improve latency in some cases with some downsides.

          Meh, we all have our personalities. A lot of people hate my personality, but I just figure it’s best to assume everyone on the internet is a stranger that could be a potential friend. If they answer things blunt or love to extrapolate with excruciating detail… Who am I to judge. I just make jokes and hope they don’t accidentally make someone feel bad. Like I really wanted to reply to yours saying that you were just trying to show off and get me to call your words attractive as well ; ) haha.
