Hi everyone, after playing wow for nearly 2 years on my old g4 powerbook it finally decided to bite the dust. Instead of getting a new mac I decided to go pick up a cheap desktop that would get the job done, and that would be easy to replace if anything broke in it. While playing wow on my powerbook I had an average of 49MS that would hop up to 75 if it was high. Now that I am on my pc I can not get below 150ms ever.

I have an old linksys router thats probably around 4 years old, and i picked up a 40 dollar netgear wireless card cause they were out of the linksys ones. It works for basic internet browsing but its pretty slow on downloading things...

to get to the point, I'll be heading back to best buy tomorrow and was curious if any of you had any input on what type of router/card I should buy. Thanks for the help everyone. :)

Hello Relax,

If you can, try testing out a wired connection and see if that makes a difference. You may also want to try temporarily bypassing your router by connecting directly to your modem with an Ethernet or USB cable. If that seems to resolve the issue and you have properly configured the device(s), you may need to update the firmware for your modem/router. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance. If you know the make/model of your modem, please check with the manufacturer on whether or not it has an integrated firewall that also needs to be configured.

If it seems to be isolated to the wireless connection, try changing the frequency channel and see if that helps. Also verify the wireless connection is secure. Check with any documentation that may have been included for assistance with these options.
