Hey guys im new and only 16 so I have only a basic understanding of computer software so sorry if somethings aren't clear.
Theres something wrong with my BT voyeger 2092 or my PC. I was gonna take it to PC world but thats a long, over prices trip for something that could be clearly obvious.
there are two main problems with the wireless connection. The first major one is that the majority of the time when i try to go the internet the computer will 'lag' extremely badly. An example of this can be seen on my steam game server where the ping for a server which, when on the rare occasions the internet is running smoothly, would be about 20-30 goes up to 600-1700. Ive tried all different methods from turning off my step brothers PC to turning the wireless connection off over night but to no prevail. there doesn't seem to be any clear reason why the internet would go extremely slow because it seems to do it a differet times as well. One day it will be ok from about 11am-5pm other days it wn't be ok at all. Its making it impossible to do homework for college, game online or email.
The 2nd problem has been present since we got it last year but ive made due with it. It can only be seen really when im playing a game online but when i am running around on Counter strike for example something will happen to my internet connection and my game will stop for about a second and then start back up again. It isn't a graphical problem but a problem with the actual internet. This happens ever 1-3 minutes and becomes extremely frustrating. All i really want to do is occasionally plan a game on the internet when im bored and i can't do this. Thanks for reading this and hopefully you will be able to shed sum light on the problem.
