Can i play with my bro on same wifi?

[Guccimar]

So i am getting another gaming PC so me and my brother can play pubg and we live in the same house and i was wondering if my wifi will not mess up and stutter cause i dont want to get my pc figuring out it lags every game. My pc will be on Ethernet and my bros will be wireless. I tested my internet speed and i have twc spectrum and my download speed is 11.90 Mbps and upload is .34 Mbps. I have a NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router. So can i do it and i think my speeds will be faster cause my brother is playing xbox rn so maybe when he is done my speeds will be faster. WILL THERE BE NO LAG ANY ISSUES?

If same network and assuming the equipment (router and cable) are fine then it should not have problems. Make sure the game you playing can be played via LAN

LAN - Local Area Network. 

Have you heard of LAN parties where people in same network connect to each other and play together, the game goes not necessarily need Internet connection, just the connection between computers.

You don't need to worry about a lan if you're playing online

I've played with someone else on a slightly slower connection and it worked just fine. I can't guarantee you won't have problems, but your speed shouldn't be an issue.

if they are on the same network then you should have no issue regardless of the distance

It's just I don't have a long enough Ethernet cable to go across my house to go to bro pc. And regardless i don't really want LAN. Do you need to connect them both Ethernet to same router to have LAN or can one be Ethernet and one pc be wireless

one can be ethernet and one can be wireless. as long as it is all to the same router/modem
