[cstrikemilf]

@SerbianDukePwnage As I said previously, the problem I had was with the network adapter itself, I've not had this problem for a long time now.

I have the same problem I have no idea how to fix it. I don't have access to a hard wired connection so I haven't been able to try that. I'm pretty sure thats not what the problem is though my latency is usually really low.

[hitheremynameisstuar]

ring your internet provider and confront them thats what i did

[ZeroPointAlpha]

@hitheremynameisstuar

I've already fixed that problem, it was an issue with the adapter itself.

@ZeroPointAlpha How i fix the lag spikes i have npt a bad network i have 54.0mbit in sec

[RoflmaoStudioz]

[kleash]

I've never had this problem until I defrag my computer...I think defraging my computer must have triggered something..

[masterex2]

Ok guys, i did some research because i have the same problem. Long story short, try downloading WLAN optomiser. It is a problem with windows wireless zero config, on xp you can disable it and this usually does the trick. On vista, its as far as i know unfixable. I've had several computer geeks check it out for me and been to loads of forums and it seems to be a common problem. Although my lag spikes arent comparable to this, i get small ones every few minutes. also disable/change your antivirus.

[andrisstr]

Me too.

[andrisstr]

I have Dlink and this happens.

[Kenwyne3546]

[Mikerichardsrox]

If Your On Xp Turn Windows Zero Configuration Off If Your On Vista Download WLAN Optimzer Should Solve The Problem

Oh and not just me that gets the lag spikes. my brothers do too.

[Ti219]

I get lag spikes like that and my internet works fine when I browse. it started lagging about 2 weeks ago for me :(

What I witnessed in this video is an internet connectivity issue. Probably ping spiking. The reason you can surf fine and still have ping spikes is because it is first person shooter real time gaming that makes it particularly noticeable. Of course your not going to notice it when you are surfing.

[Cha0sLord93]

ffs this is real annoying...

[nikebitch60]

duuude. i have the exsact same problem and its annoying me so if you figure out how to fix it pleas tell me. thanx

[ZeroPointAlpha]

Well, I managed to fix it the first time by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for my wireless adapter. Recently though I've had to go back to my internal wireless adapter and the problems returned, but after purchasing yet ANOTHER USB adapter (this time from DLink), I've not had this problem.

Moral of the story: Linksys sucks. :V

[xtre08]

i think that might be sumthing to do with your internet

[ZeroPointAlpha]

It does that no matter what connection I used though. I've tried it with 2 friend's connections, one fiber-optic and one cable (2Mb and 4Mb respectively), at the local cyber-cafe (6-7Mb) and at work (2-3Mb), but it still happens. I managed to fix it temporarily by uninstalling and reinstalling my wireless adapter's drivers, but the spikes have returned recently.
