Minimizing Virtual Desktop Lag?

Summered in IB last year while at home. Didn’t mind the work, but the VDI software I used for my personal laptop was incredibly slow and disconnected every 15 minutes if I went to do house chores.

I’ve heard of using an ethernet cable and wired keyboard/mouse instead of the wireless options to help with the input lag. Any other ideas you guys are willing to share?

Also, any workarounds for making sure my VDI doesn’t time out? I need to do a two-factor authentication every time this happens and literally keeps me glued to my laptop. Thanks y’all
