How to fix my Freakin Choke!!!!

[Red]

Have you tried plugging into your router instead of using wireless just to see what happens?

I can't, my router (which is fairly new) Is halfway across my house. So i can't hook up directly.

Move your computer.

That may be part of the problem.

 

Move the router into your room. Or get a really long cable and run it to the router, staple it along the baseboards so it's not unsightly.

Yeah, i dont' think my dad will like that, he's hooked up directly and having a cord running thro my room, our backroom, and then our bathroom into his room would work. That is something that i cannot do until i move out.

wireless = high choke

Choke = Server wants to send you data but can not send you data. Might be because your rates are set too low, might be because the server's incapable of holding the rates/ticrate it's set to, might be because you have a bottleneck somewhere.

 

Wireless doesn't = choke unless you're using a really slow one like B or G. Wireless N should have the bandwidth for gaming so the packets WILL be sent. The problem is that wireless gives you something much worse, wireless = LOSS. You get a little interference here, some weak signal there, and you start recieving incomplete packets or missing them entirely and then REALLY BAD SHIT happens with Source.

 

If you're getting choke but no loss try playing on any TRUE 100tic server, one that "net_graph 3" will show "100/s" on the right right of the "IN:" and "OUT:" lines (second and third line of the net_graph). If you can play on a 100tic server with your rates maxed out and no choke/loss that means it's serverside. Otherwise it's on your side and you need a wire.

 

p.s. Wireless sucks for gaming.

Like i previously stated before, It's only on the SG servers. I run perfectly fine on any other server i join. Idk why.

 

And on another note, I haven't had any problems with my wireless for the last 3 years

Try changing your router's channel? Other nearby routers may be running on the same channel as yours and causing interference. Keep fiddling around with the channels and see if there is an improvement.

Ooh, i just read your post, how would you change your router channel? Because i think everyone in my village is set to channel 6 as default, so how would you go around changing it, because i think it would have a BIG difference where i live!!
