Most people would have to buy the cable too, and either run it through their walls, under doors, or restrict their play to whatever room their router is in.

- pdimitar 4y agoNormal users are not that helpless so as to give up when faced with this problem. I maintain contact with several non-tech people. When they realized that e.g. Valorant will work better with a cable they very quickly deciphered the USB-to-Ethernet adapters market and asked a father or a friend to run their cable properly. Took each of them 2-3 days and they're much happier casual gamers now. Where there is a need, a way is found. When the need arises, people learn. Seen it happen several times.
