Lerp,Ping, and Packet loss help

[Sarge™]

So I recently had to go from a wireless connection to a ethernet one because I was having packet loss issues which I never found out how to fix without an ethernet cord. So I have 2 questions

Everything was fine with the ethernet cord until I noticed the server I usually play on I was now averaging 75-91 ping, before I was averaging 15-20 ping on a wireless connection (i live really close to the servers). Im confused because i thought a wired connection would mean better ping, the ethernet cable isnt the problem since its a modern cat5e cable(non damaged basically brand new) and my wifi is really fast and I havent experienced bad connection on it with any other device. Can I fix this? If so how?

Another thing is I decided to change my interp settings so I could get hit more shots with hitscan classes (which worked really well), same with projectile classes, but I recently removed them in an effort to fix the ping, it didnt work :(. I did have a problem tho where my lerp would always be in orange and not in white(usually 30.1ms or 15.2ms), my goal was to get it to stay white but I only wanted to change my interp ratio not my interp. So my second question is can I fix this by changing my interp ratio only? And if I can then to what number?

Here is what my config was before (Im using masterconfig medium low interp settings currently)
( The only difference in each class cfg is interp ratio and interp btw, everything else is the same for each one)

CFG:
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_interp 0.000010
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01

Demoman:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0.0152

Engineer:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0.0303

Pyro:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0.0152

Scout:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0.0303

Sniper:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp .01667

Soldier:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0.0152

Spy:
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0.000010

If you need more information like net graph pics/videos I'll provide just let me know.

Just set CL interp to 0 (auto makes it low interpt not 0 tho)

Setting you're interp to 0 only makes you interp change to what the server thinks is right but not the lowest/preferred amount

Yeah, ideally you can just set cl_interp to 0 and just use cl_interp_ratio, as the game automatically choses whichever gives the higher interp. However some servers restrict cl_interp_ratio, hence why the class configs change both.

You seem to have interp ratio set to 2 for all the classes, which I believe would put you in the 'white', but they override all the classes with cl_interp values lower than 0.0303. So you probably want to change it to 1 for the projectile classes.

For the cl_interp values, it's best to use 0.015151, 0.030303, 0.045454 etc. as anything slightly off can cause hitbox desync issues. Another reason why it's best to use interp ratio instead.
