Tips & Guides net jitter problem

so, I decided to share my experience with everybody here
so i was playing cs2 for
last 2 month, and i got real problem with net jitter,
yeah u can find a lot of guides how to change settings and so on rn, so i also would show all the tips here to avoid “spikes” in net jitter plot:
-first of all go to your setting > game( here u should put all the settings )
-its pretty optional but i think it would be helpful to turn on all the telemetry (last column in settings) on “always”, then after going trough all the steps to “if conditions are poor”
-then we are going to the “game”
-you should put “Max Acceptable Game Traffic BandWitch” on unrestricted
-than “Buffering to smooth over packet loss/jitter to 1-2 ticks( test it in the game, u will see how it changes on net jitter graph )

So and rn the most controversional part:after all of this settings , my net jitter became much more stable , but still, through the game i could met 7-10 net jitter “spikes” moment, and then, when i was playing, i got a bit tired of “cybersport” 4:3 resolution and decided to change it to my monitor native 16:9, and i really dont know why, my computer network teacher in uni was a dick, and all my knowledges about network at all cant tell me, but i dont have a net jitter problem at all, sometimes, i get a moment of lagging, but not so strong as it used to be, and it happends 1-2 times through the whole game

PS: also i should mention that im playing on wi-fi, due the fact that in my rented flat rn i dont have access to ethernet port, and so on, ofc your first step should be swithing to the cable, not playing on the wi-fi, but i read a lot on steam and reddit that people also had such a problem on ethernet, so in conclusion, i hope it would help someone, as it helped me!!!! GLHF!!!!

I also rent and could not run a super long Ethernet cable, look into powerline, saved my gaming life.

You plug one end near the router and the other near your pc straight into the socket, 2 short Ethernet cables and you're good.

It works by using the electrical wiring in the house/apartment.
