			If you’re seeing lots of choppiness while on wifi, you need to do something to keep wifi fully active. One option is to stream a long running video (something with no scheduled end like a twitch stream works well for some folks). A lower bandwidth approach is to ping your router the whole time you’re playing.

	'''Technical stuff for nerds:''' In the last ~10 years, Apple has introduced power saving on wifi chipsets. The idea being that putting the wifi network to sleep and polling for incoming packets less frequently will save on power drain (useful for laptops and such). This doesn’t affect typical web browsing enough to be noticeable, but CL’s packets arrive just slowly enough and over a protocol (UDP) that Apple isn’t considering important enough to keep wifi awake the entire game session. Thus it’ll keep putting it to sleep to try and save power, then immediately wake it back up, put it back to sleep, etc. This works around that by sending packets inside your local network fast enough that wifi never tries to go to sleep.
