Hey guys My isp company upgraded my connection to 30mb cable and they'll be installing a wireless router next wednesday at my house, my question is: should I use the wireless or the cable link to play online? I'm a bad company 2 and team fortress 2 player and don't really know if the wireless link is gonna affect my pings or not... Thanks in advance...

I play on wireless and my ping is most of the time below 10-15ms. Just use a dedicated PCI card and hope that your router is good enough. Mine is dropping the connection each 15-20 minutes for about 10 seconds. => NFOrce GIF plugin <= - Ryzen 3800X, 16GB DDR4-3200, Sapphire 5700XT Pulse
