What does this setting do?

No internet connection is perfectly steady — brief spikes happen when somebody in the household starts a video. This value stops such spikes from causing a kick: only after this many consecutive high readings is the player dropped.

The default of 5 is a good compromise. A low value makes the connection sensitive to every hiccup; a high one leaves players with permanently poor connections in the game for a long time.
