Network performance may be important but the reality is that for the most part those things which influence network performance are out of the hands of gamers. There is "gaming" network hardware out there but for the most part I would categorize it with the $500 coax cables sold to audiophiles.

The biggest lever in the toolbox for a typical user to optimize network is good old ethernet. Wired vs wireless will typically reduce latency a little bit and massively improves on jitter, which is arguably more important for competitive gaming (within a reasonable range of latency).
Outside of that, I agree.
