Packet Tracer Help


I am using Packet Tracer to simulate the benefits of a wireless access point mesh as compared to a single router in a large home with many devices. Similar to the likes of Netgear Orbi, I want to show a mesh system but I have no clue how to. 
Please help me with simulating ping, latency, and Jitter and also with what kind of home network devices I need to use to build a mesh wifi system

you can not 100% simulate, but you can do the best you can in the simulator, I am not a PT expert

 

you can use some tool to traffic generation :

not sure .. but in case of PT there are no special devices for simulating latency, and Jitter.   of course you can ping IP from any devices.

In case of wireless, I am not sure if there is "special" wireless device to do simulate latency, and Jitter.
