    High Latency/"Stutter
    « on: September 19, 2011, 08:04:20 PM »
    Hello, I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 and the preformance from the computer itself is fine but I believe something is up with the wireless.

    Problem: Webpages and music seem to load and work fine, but when playing large games such as League of Legends or Minecraft(if you call that large) I experience times when my latency is very high and my character is slow to react or in the case of Minecraft people seem to stop and flash across the map. Also team fortress 2 failed for me with random freezes making me quit.

    Temporary "Fix": One wierd thing that happens is that if I play League of Legends with Skype open and I'm talking to someone or thier talking to me (a conversation is going on) the latency significantly lowers from somewhere 300+ to the low 20-50s. Have not tried this fix on minecraft yet but I dont want to depend on this every time.

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    Wireless: 802.11n wireless Lan card by Ralink

    If you guys need any other info ask please

    Fixes I have tried: I have tried resetting the router (D-Link dir-655 or something like that)  Resetting my network, Attempted to completely disable norton dont know if I successfully did or not, and some minor fixes such as defragmenting and using CCleaner

    Note: My brother/father/mother/my old laptops internet were perfectly fine noting that my old laptop would run minecraft with perfect character speeds.

    I have done a Pingtest and Speedtest   Both giving me a grade of A and as I recall I had 14-15mbps download and 20-30 mbps upload speed with 0 packetloss and around 7 ping with 1ms of jitter

    I have tried moving my computer around the house with insignificant changes, but plugging into the router itself for an inconclusive 10 minute period SEEMED to fix the problem

    Please dont ask me to delete Norton like on other forums, because I'd rather keep it while I can, and I'm just looking for an alternative to getting a huge wire reaching all the way to my router

    Thanks for any feedback,

      No I don't think deleting Norton has anything to do with the problem at hand.
