• New PC/wireless network card, terrible lagspikes when playing online.
    3 replies, posted
So basically i bought a new computer, everything works fine except for when i try to actually play something (world of tanks, planetside 2, etc) My ping will randomly shoot up from 140 to 500-999, however when i download something, i get a smooth 8mb/s. As i cannot into networking, my attempt at fixing this has ended at restarting the router, modem and PC. My wireless card is a ASUS PCE-N53 300Mbps 11n Dual band Wireless LAN PCI-E Card and my router is a D-link DIR-655. As for the rest of my computer specs [QUOTE]Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.40GHz Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology RAM 8,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 510MHz Motherboard MSI B75MA-P45 (MS-7798) (SOCKET 0) Graphics Acer G245HQ (1920x1080@60Hz) AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series Hard Drives 112GB Corsair Force GT (SSD) 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 (SATA) Optical Drives TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224BB Audio AMD High Definition Audio Device[/QUOTE] Forgot to add that my previous card never had any problems like this.
So does your old network card work? You can try hooking up with a cable just to confirm everythings right. (should be though)
My first thought is that it's possibly your router being awful at running in mixed mode. Basically, if there's any G/B traffic at the same time as N, the N clients will suffer. Either set the router to be N only or set it to be G/B only.
