This year we have decided to disable a substantial number of our wired
drops on campus. Our studies have showed that less than 5% of the wired
ports were used in an academic year in our residential spaces.  For the
most part we have very few complaints, except when it comes to playing
server based games, such as Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch etc.  The users
complain of things like "lag", "Glitching" and "Rubber Banding".  At quick
glance, the rssi and snr shouldn't be an issue. They even state that access
to campus resources and other internet activity is not an issue.   We have
not begun to deep dive into this issue.   I am just curious if other folks
have dealt with the same or similar issues with gamers on the wireless
networks, and what was the fix.
