Hi, I was seeing some problems with ping spikes and noticed in reddit about “WLAN optimizer” program, there are 2 options there, stream mode, and disabling background scanning. Can anyone explain to me what the function to disable background scanning does? I read that it helps, but what confuses me is that I don’t know what it is, searching on Google didn’t really help me and I don’t want to disable a potentially important function. Is this a change in the router settings or a change in the network card only on my PC and will not affect other devices?
