I have used netgear and tp-link both. Always the cheapest option, and always worked great with no issues.

haha I was joking about 1000 fps and having your laptop. I feel bad because you clearly care very much about this.
I love that you cited sources, I did not know about measuring fps being unreliable, from now on I will use frametime as I agree it seems like a much better measure.

Seems like you have done almost everything. The only thing I can think that you havent mentioned is to close all running programs (ofc), and set hl2.exe to have high priority. Also if you are on a laptop, try to make sure it is getting enough airflow, maybe even buy a cooling pad.

I appreciate the dedication to fine tuning, but the reason people aren't taking you seriously is that you are asking for the impossible. You pretty much need to buy a better computer unfortunately, if you want a significant change in frames

I donwloaded your demos and have the same laptop as you. I got 1000 fps average

I prefer shotty because extreme rocket surfing is less inevitable. With gunboats you always run out of rockets and are forced to dance around and surf a ton. But ofc shotty can also lead to shotgun denying and other annoying behaviors, but if theres good sportsmanship usually people don't do that.
