Then as stated, it shouldn’t be worse than what you have now, likely better.Ping is important to me. I want the best ping I can get on WiFi and if upgrading from a WiFi 5 to 6 or 7 will improve it then I will consider it.
Going to a bigger standard number won’t magically alter the underlying limitations, which is why I gave you real world examples of WiFi increasing ping locally by upto 64%. Moving a disc to the same room may help you if you haven’t done that yet and hard wiring backhaul if supported, but changing standard means you probably want to look at the hardware in the laptop to ensure both match in capabilities.
Also, what are you playing specifically, and on what laptop?
