Linksys problem

[corup7ion]

Hello, my friend has DSL, and its pretty fast. he never lags. however, I have a linksys card, and when i come over, i get sudden random lag spikes regularily. figured it was a driver problem, but vista says i have the best driver... any ideas?

I still think it's the driver, Ive had similar problems, and I thought that really was how unstable wireless was. But I went on the the website and got my specific model # and then downloaded the latest driver, almost no stability issues

Are you using wired or wireless? Also what particular linksys card are you using?

Its possible its a driver issue but their can be many other factors that can cause issues. You could be dropped packets which would cause a lag issue. It could also be a issue with your network card or the system itself.

It's a wireless desktop card. It's something like WMPG54. It is still an issue.

EDIT:

My friend right next to me has the same card, same vista, and he has no latency. is it possible my card is on the wrong frequency or something?

Less then a week ago

My machine running vista premium lost connection a few times in 1 day with the same model card


Then Out of 50 sites including ebay and [H] only freetetris.org and bensbargains.net would work

I got pissed off and called linksys they ran me around for a bit asking how long the machine was running the card with vista if I had anything else running on 2.4ghz Blah Blah Blah

After all was said and done I had to update the driver manually


I used a usb hdd on another machine to get the driver update

I had to go into device manager / network adapters/ linksys wireless G pci

Clicked update driver selected the driver file added the new updated driver and I was back online
