Answer: A. Verify the wireless connection is using the fastest wireless standard the router supports.

D. Enable QoS for the gaming applications on the router and on the son's computer.

Explanation: Verifying the wireless connection is using the fastest wireless standard the router supports will improve line of connectivity and reduce network latency hence gaming consoles communicate faster.

QoS enables the prioritizing of the volume of internet traffic on the console for high quality gaming. QoS will also enable more internet bandwidth to be channeled to the gaming console.
