Device + internet checklist — stable sessions (South Africa)

Summary

“Playing well” mixes stable latency, enough hardware, and environment (noise, interruptions). You do not need the most expensive gear to start.

Internet

• Prefer Ethernet or Wi-Fi close to the router over thin mobile data for reactive games.
• If ping spikes, stop heavy downloads and consider updating an old router.

Device

• PC: check RAM, integrated vs dedicated GPU, and SSD space.
• Phone: healthy battery, Do Not Disturb, and a recent OS.
• Browser: keep it updated if you play without installing a client.

Accessibility

Tune brightness, text size, and controls if you play long sessions; short breaks beat an expensive monitor.
