It depends on how did the WiFi design looks like, but I would try Cisco 1815T or similar “with switch ports” to be dedicated for the gaming consoles.

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. -- Thomas M.
