> Does performance tuning for Wi-Fi adapters matter?
If you're willing to potentially sacrifice 10-20% of (max local network) throughput you can drastically improve wifi fairness and improve ping times/reduce bufferbloat (random ping spikes will still happen on wifi though).

There's a huge thread https://forum.openwrt.org/t/aql-and-the-ath10k-is-lovely/590... that has stuff about enabling and tuning aqm, and some of the tradeoffs between throughput and latency.
