My setup: WRT54G Linksys router with two computer connected wirelessly on a WMP54G Linksys adapter which is connected to a Westell DSL modem. No new wireless phones in the house (2.4Ghz or otherwise), and the router is only a few rooms away horizontally from the wireless computer.
The problem: I only notice the problem when I game, since the connection seems 'stable' otherwise. Anyway, in the middle of a pleasant Battlefield 2 experience, I get what I can only call "hiccups" in the connection, which manifests itself in-game as a brief 1 - 2 seconds of 'lag' and the message, "There is a problem with your connection." Just a second later, the game picks back up and plays normally... until it happens again. I'd say this occurs at least once a minute, making stressful battles even more frustrating when a "hiccup" comes along and gets me killed. I usually get a ping of ~100 when I play, give or take 50. Not too good I know.
To make a long story short, the WRT54G router and WMP54G adapter are brand- new, with few security options enabled to ease troubleshooting. I'm not all that keen on wireless options.
Can anyone help me with this problem or is wireless just bad for gaming?
