I’m looking to reduce ping and have a more consistent connection. Will a cat6 cable be an improvement? - eviltoast

I’m currently connecting wirelessly to the Xbox and the internet isn’t great (50mbps). Ping will often sit around 15ms but randomly shoot up to over 1000ms. If it’s a busy house the ping can be over 100ms.

Will an ethernet cable improve anything and would there be any difference between cat6 and higher in my case?
