With the gaming computer connected to Orbi with ethernet, there is little that can be done to reduce latency (ping, for example). A brief search did not turn up the maximum latency that will work with Fortnite, however I did find this link that claims internet gaming should functin with pings under 150ms: https://www.highspeedinternet.com/resources/how-much-speed-do-i-need-for-online-gaming
70ms is less than 1/10 of a second. Is your trigger finger faster than that?
