I bought a belkin router and adapter awhile ago. ive have written many questions on why i lag in games on my wireless router. people told me about my ping, wireless zero thing. well i notice that when im playing on the wired computer i lag. this is with the wireless router connected. when i disconnect the wireless router from the computer and just hook up the cable modem everything is fine. what could be the cause of this? please answer thanks.

    Well, part of your problem might be that you’re using a Belkin router, which I have only had bad experiences with. The wireless router’s connection shouldn’t matter to the wired computer unless someone on the wireless connection is downloading a lot of files and using up all the bandwidth, which would definitely create lots of lag.

    run a speed test for both options.windows should say if you are getting 10mbs or 100 mbs sounds like you are getting less from the wirelesslike maybe a wireless 10megs router??
