I have a similar setup to @[email protected] in regards to my home network and I wouldn't dream of removing my wifi network. I still consider wired to be superior though it rarely matters at those latencies.
My Windows laptop on wifi:
My Fedora on wired network:

I'm a cable guy too; it's just better. But you can't get quality CAT6 or better cables for $6.99 anymore.

wired will always be better, faster, more reliable, and cheaper

Oh you're one of those people
(I don't face any issues, so everyone else must be also not facing any issues)
I've had my Wifi Router just suddenly lose strength (& it was brand new) -

50mbps is a fuckterrible bitrate for 4k HDR video content.
You should be playing physical media anyway, though.

You could have 30 clips break and it would still be cheaper.

Oh, you're one of those people (I have an issue therefore everyone must have this issue too and there is a fundamental problem with the thing I have an issue with)

Oh god that sounds frustrating AF.

Testing on my phone with a few different services: 0.0 to 0.2% packet loss. 9 to 12 ms jitter. Ping 5 to 25.
I'm not claiming to be a network expert on why wireless is noticably worse in practice, i picked packet loss and jitter randomly, i assumed that's how it manifests. but i'd suspect these tests aren't indicative of actual game netcode. They are short too. The whole point is the stability. If i play for 15 minutes no issue but suddenly have a single rubberband, thats an issue which may not show up in 100 tests.
On wireless i can feel that pretty much every session. Everything fine for a while, then not for a moment, then fine, etc.
On wired i only have an issue if the server itself or my isp itself is having an issue.

Are you connected over 5ghz or 2.4?
2.4ghz overlaps with other consumer devices that cause interference, like microwaves, drones, and cordless (landline) phones. If one of those devices turns on nearby, it could cause that until your router hops bands.I haven't had this problem with 5ghz (so for over a decade, on my gaming PC).
