I'm running a desktop on wireless right now (yes I know wireless=bad for desktops but it's my only option atm) and I'm losing packets like crazy while playing games. So far I've changed the channel I'm on, installed a program called Vista Anti-lag which is supposed to help, and adjusted the antenna position on my card. However I'm still frequently losing packets while playing TF2. My wireless card is the Gigabyte GN-WP01GS PCI WLAN (Turbo) card, and I'm about 30ft away from my router, and 2 or 3 walls.
I can't help but think it's simply the wireless card which is somewhat weak, because when I run my laptop in the same spot I rarely lose packets like I do while playing on the desktop. So are there any other tweaks I could possibly make? Or maybe any suggestions on a higher quality wireless card?
Thank you
