My internet

[Lefty]

Ever since i've switched to Wireless, i get these random spikes of lags and my ping goes up to 400 ping then goes back down and it can get annoying. I have 3 other computers that are wireless as well. What is the problem?

yes....no

 

yes, using wireless is shit for online gaming, lag spikes will occur, but resetting the connection to the wireless router will not solve the problem, use a CAT5 cable. you will not see any lag spikes, if your do then contact your ISP

I had the same problem, I have new roommates that are heavy internet users and my wireless would lag REALLY REALLY bad.

 

I bought a cat5 cable just the other week and the crazy spikes are gone. Now if anything I just get higher ping in game when they're downloading/uploading porn, but at least I'm not dropping my connection for a few seconds at a time. Plus I just throttled the wireless connection to 1mbit/sec connection, bitches.

 

If you have other computers on the network then wireless is NOT the way to go, it simply requires a smooth constant flow of packets and having other computers sharing the wireless connection overloads the router, there's only so much a wireless router can do at one time, get a cable instead for your gaming computer. Also limit the transmit speed of the wireless so that they don't suck up as much bandwidth.

It's wireless, it's unpreventable.
