Best wi-fi settings for gaming?

There is really nothing that you can change. Wifi will always have more lag than a wired connection due to the overhead.

all these settings your listed are the least important, biggest factor is whether your router supports ac standard, what internet speeds are you paying and getting and who else is using your wi-fi in your house and for what purposes.

Once you optimize these major factors, driver settings are next thing to do to fine tune network.
Finally you also have to pay attention to multiplayer server, ex. server FPS, ping etc.

Finding a bottleneck is important, for example, something that has greatest impact on slow performance and then solving this first.

This is a good wifi card, it will completely use your 300 mbit speed. You should consider this function of this card "Beamforming Technology - Receives more directional Wi-Fi signals, improving speed and reliability", personally I do not know.

edit: Check that the card uses the highest bandwidth of your router, eg. 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 160 MHz.

As far as i know, beamforming only works if both the wireless network card and router supports it, but i will check to see if my router supports it as well.

for ping test to be reliable you need to test it against game server while gaming.

most settings you listed are unrelated to performance, ex. wake on magic packet or power consumption will get you nothing.

band preference yes, but you'll have to test it yourself, it depends on factors such as neighboring networks, in the end you gain very little or nothing.

nobody using WI-FI is fine, but if other house members use line connection to router that could degrade WI-FI speed, can be the cause with some bad routers or tech limitations, ex streaming and gaming in same time by multiple people will usually give bad performance.

if your gateway has configurable NAT, you want to set it to cone instead of any symetric flavors.
Too many factors, but if you have no issues then all is probably fine and needs no adjustment.

I am going to try to optimize my wi-fi settings for gaming. I don't have the possibility to use a cable, so i will have to try to make the best of it. I have this wireless network card. If someone has some expertise about these settings, please post it in this thread, thanks.

Does your router support beamforming or did you mark solved because you learned about the functionality of this option?
