Lagging / Frame Rate over WiFi

#1 Post by shaun.s »

Hello all,

Nearing completion of a build using a Raspberry Pi 3 and X-Plane 10 (Windows 10). Through the build / testing I've been using Ethernet to connect the Pi directly to my X-Plane PC (Windows 10). The instruments were smooth and responsive.

Unfortunately now that I've switched to WiFi on both devices, the instruments are updating unacceptably slowly. Before I revert back to Ethernet, are there any obvious things I can try changing to improve this?

As far as I can tell, all devices are on the same 2.4GHz WiFi network. I'm unsure what, if any, Firewall or Port Forwarding settings I should be looking at.

Work-in-progress photo in case anybody is interested:

5G WiFi can be a bit better. Switching to a different channel, not using range extenders, can also help. But a wired connection is always better.
