Help with packet burst in Black Ops 6

Looking for some guidance in diagnosing and troubleshooting my packet burst issue in this game.

I feel this could be an interplay of both my hardware specs, network settings, or in-game settings.

I had this issue quite a bit in Season 1 and resolved it by literally just plugging in an Ethernet cable. Unfortunately, after the Season 2 update it’s returned.

The packet issue can be finicky, some games can feel good for the first 5 minutes or so, then a ton of stuttering that makes the game nearly unplayable.
