This has been happening since I got this router (AR625W). When I get all of my computers connected to a server on the LAN, they get a ping of around 900ms (while playing half life 2 deathmatch). My computer, which is usually the host, is connected by a wire to the router. The other four are connected wirelessly. two have wireless NICs that are the same brand as the router, Airlink101, and two are D-links that have 54mbps speeds.
The Router is using WPA-PSK encryption with TKIP. While this is enabled, the ping stays way up at around 900ms. But after turning off the encryption completely does the ping on all computers go down to 5ms. I've tried all encryption settings. They all have the same effect on ping. Disabling encryption completely fixes the ping problem, but I can't risk having other people connecting through my router from the out side.
Please help.
