Method #2: Use an Ethernet Connection

You already should now that you can get the best quality from your internet connection using ethernet instead of wi-fi.

Wi-fi network also works great, and I have used to play overwatch over this kind of connection, but on Warframe, some network controls doesn’t let you connect if you have a poor connection through Wi-fi.
