| 538323 | 2007-04-04 23:01:00 | Playing UT2004 with my brother, I get these big pauses for about 2 seconds, every minute or whatever. The only thing I can think of is that the pc I have the lag on, has wireless to connect to the lan, whereas the other is by wires. The connection is at full according to the little meter thing, and I am only about 10m away from the router. I am using the wireless router as an access point, cause I just plugged it into my existing router. I have a WRT54GL, and just some D-LINK wireless card I bought for $50 at dse. Anything I can do to make the lag less? |

| 538325 | 2007-04-05 03:46:00 | Naaah way, it shouldn't be this bad should it? I can run through a door, and on the screen, the door hasn't even opened. Plus the big 1-3 second pauses. I've done wireless gaming before, and never noticed it this bad, but that would be because I only played RTS, but still, I'm sure I would have noticed a bit if it was this bad. |

| 538326 | 2007-04-05 03:52:00 | Could it be modern improved security causing the periodic delays? If either or both ends is busily encrypting and decrypting things to (re)authenticate a connection there might not be much time left for unimportant things like data transfer. :D | Graham L (2) | ||

| 538328 | 2007-04-05 10:33:00 | had a similar problem when my soundcard and ethernet shared the same irq.. when playing lan games with lots of sounds and lots of network traffic = bad lag and horrible sound.. though your problem sounds more like latency issues with the wireless. |
