Lag spikes with WRT310N

Hello everyone. Recently purchased a WRT310N router as a replacement for a recently deceased 802.11g router. I have had no problems receiving and keeping connections, but I am experiencing frequent lag spikes when playing online games. Every 10 seconds or so, I get a 1-2 second lag spike. I disabled Frame Burst and that has helped a bit. I also moved around the standard channel from 3 to 11 to 9, with only slight improvement on channel 9 (I am not using wide channel). I have a WUSB600N wireless adapter on my desktop, but I swapped it out for an older 802.11g wireless adapter with little improvement. (ping times were faster, but the lag spikes still occurred.) I am guessing that I need to tweak some settings in the router config, but am unsure where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Chris

Thank you for the response. As I mentioned above, I tried most of what you have suggested already, with only a modest improvement. I configured the router back to Standard 20Mhz from Wide 40Mhz, but that had no noticeable effect.
After that, I hooked up my old 802.11g NIC and configured the Network Mode of the router to BG-Mixed. Doing that caused a dramatic improvement in my lagging problem, though I have only tested it for about 30 minutes. I really don't need the speed of 802.11n, only the range (which is vastly superior to my former router), so should this improvement continue, I will be satisfied with the results. That said, it is extremely disappointing that an 802.11n Linksys router could not effectively communicate with an 802.11n Linksys NIC, regardless of the draft status of the 802.11n standard. I am hopeful that in the near future, this situation will be improved and I will be able to enjoy the full power of my new router/NIC combo.
If anyone else has any suggestions, please do not hesitate to add them here. Thank you.
Chris

Lag Spikes with WRT54G router

I've recently noticed that while playing numerous MMO games (Aion, Champions Online, and World of Warcraft), I've been getting lag spikes for the last few months, at first I thought it was because Aion and Champions were in beta stages, but I kept getting them in World of Warcraft, when I went back.
I bought a new WUSB600N USB adapter, because I built a new system and my old PCI card does not fit, nor does it nativly support vista or Vista 64 (which I am using). So I am not sure if it is the USB adapter, or my old WRT54G router. My fiancee is also having the same problem with her wireless G adapter in her laptop, so I bought her the WPC600N adapter and is still getting the same issue. When I connect via a cable I seem to be okay.
I also have all the correct ports forwarded, for World of Warcraft.
Now my question is, is it because I am trying to game with a wireless connection, or is it because of my router?
I was thinking of buying the WRT160N to see if it will fix the problem. Is there a better solution?
I am only about 10 feet from my router, so distance is not an issue.
System Specs:
Intel I7 920
Intel DX58SO motherboard
6 GB memory
2X BFG GTX275OC (running in SLI)
Creative X-FI Fata1ity PCI-E
WUSB600N USB adapter
WRT54G wireless router.
any suggestions would be helpful.

Dota 2 Lag Spikes

Recently, i have been getting brief lag spikes every 30-60 seconds while in game Dota 2. My ping and packet loss dramatically increase for a very short time, resulting in my character rubber banding for 3-4 seconds. This has only started happening since I got my new computer - msi ge60 2PE apache pro. Before I got this computer, I had been playing dota 2 on a macbook pro, with no problems at all. My internet speed is extremely good (I can stream on maximum quality with no pauses at all), and a pingtest reveals 0% packet loss, and excellent download/upload speed.
This problem has been occurring consistantly for at least the past 10 games, what on earth could be the problem?
Possibly a bad network adapter? My computer has a Killer e2200.
ANY help would be hugely appreciated!!

Is this lag spikes also occurring in League of Legends?
I have had multiple lag spikes with pings going from 70 to 1300 which is crazy. The laptop I have a is a MSi GT70 Dominator, which I had updated the wireless but this game is crazy lagging for me. My Guild Wars game does not lag as much as this.
There are many reasons which might cause the lag spikes issue.
Before you do any testing on the router, ISP or even game server, it's hard to tell what the problem is.
It would be much better if you can share more details on your situation and your system configurations.

I'd be more for RMA'ing the board.
But personally, I'm staying away from Killer Network products from now on. They are buggy and do not work very well when they don't work. Sometimes they don't work at all. Check back through these forums, and one of the biggest issues with any of the boards and/or laptops is always the Killer Networks NIC's. And there is no simple and easy fix for many of the issues.
If it was me, I'd buy a nice wireless card and use that instead. Or do the Intel mod you posted about.
I won't say that the Killer Networks device SHOULD work, but time and time again they prove to not work. In that case, I'd replace it with something that will and move on. A $40 wireless card to not spend days or weeks trying to fix the problem is money well spent in my opinion.
now im going with powerlink and all went good, but as all know, powerlink after 2 years will broke and need to replace..... but online game with eth is always better.
So im tihink to resend to AMAZON and ask for refund and ill rebuy a gaming 7 without wifi this change refund me a good 100 euro......

Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 Lag Spikes

Okay let me just brief you on my Macbook.
In September 2011 i bought a Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 model, 4GB RAM, 2.7GHz Processor, you can get the rest on the site.
( http://support.apple.com/kb/sp619 )
I bought it as a ex-display model, so you can imagine it already has some milage from it.
Through the (almost) 2 years i've had it, apart from the odd overheat shutdown, and a 1 charger replacement, it's been no hassle, even with me constantly shutting it and moving it. It seems that all the issues are coming in bulk.
I generally use the laptop for gaming, mostly World of Warcraft, sometimes Minecraft, and lately Starcraft, and Spellforce on BOOTCAMP or virtual machines.
About 2 weeks ago, the laptop started refusing to charge, i couldn't understand if it was the charger (as i only replaced it a few months earlier and the cable was still in perfect condition) or the port itself in the laptop. I took my laptop to an Apple store, found it was the Magsafe on the cable, replaced it on the spot, but the reason why i'm saying this is i'm wondering why it broke so quickly, and if lack of power has anything to do with it.
I've grown a liking to Spellforce so instead of having to restart into the Windows side of my Mac, i just use the Virtualbox Virtual OS i already have set up from when i used to work from home and have to use certain software on windows because Wine just couldn't cut it (and lets face it, Mission Control is awesome, then you go on Windows and everything just seems to cluttered). So i read the default specs for the game on Steam (2GB) so i give Virtualbox 2GB, but this was a MAHOOSIVE mistake, because as soon as i clicked start, it's been a down hill spiral.
The computer immediately started lagging, to the point where the laptop was actually unusable, so i force restarted it by pressing down the power button for 5 seconds and i let it restart. After it booted, everything seemed fine (i expected nothing else) so i decided to only give it 1GB of RAM, and just turn down the settings to the lowest possible (which is something i've had to do with World of Warcraft recently. It used to be able to run on Ultra when i first got the laptop, now it struggles on low and if i have a browser up at the same time). Again, big mistake, it lagged to unusability. So i restart again, but this time it takes 5 minutes to boot, and once booted everything is so slow, so i decide to re-install the OS, so i get my flash drive and spend the next hour moving things over from my user folder because when i would try to move a folder that had 5+ files or something that was 100MB or larger, it would error out saying a certain file couldn't be read or written, and would cancel and remove everything else that was transfering at the time.
So i restart but boot into the recovery option, and do a refresh the OS, and i let it download and install. I was surprised to see when it had all completed that it still had all my files, but it still ran slow, not as slow as before but definitely not as good as before, i would estimate at quatre the performance. So i assume that Virtualbox must have editted some system setting and my Mac thinks i only have 2GBs of RAM and not 4GB, so i search on how to reset the bootloader, and i was tried the alt + cmd + r + p, but after that when it booted, it came to the wallpaper but i was getting these popups that Finder had unexpectedly quit, so i click Okay a few times, they keep coming back up, so i look at the details and it says that the app had failed 500+ times before.
So i put my Snow Leopard disk in, use Disk Utility and use erase on my Mac OS partition, then i re-install Snow Leopard, then i download and install Mountain Lion again, but the snails pace remains. I do alittle more research and someone suggested modifying the partition size by a few gigs or so to re-write it and reset certain variables attached, didn't work, even after a reboot.
So yesterday i just put the Snow Leopard disk in, and i remove both partitons (Mac and Windows) and i make one partition. I install Snow Leopard and then Moutain Lion, and so far it appears that everything it back up to speed... however, i've been keeping a keen eye on Activity Moniter and "top" in Terminal, and my CPU usage and RAM usage are always relatively low. I always seem to have 1GB-2GB RAM free, and my Idle CPU always seems to be above 80%-90% but i'm getting these weird lag spikes. I notice it most when i try installing World of Warcraft again, the download speed averages around 3MB/s (my ISP is Virigin Media and i get 60Mbs/s fibre optic so i know it's not my connection failing) and then the app seems to freeze (stops refreshing the average speed, and then about 5-10 seconds later, it starts refreshing again but it's at 12-50KB/s. This also seems to happen a lot when i use web browsers.
I have noticed something new, literally only about 30 minutes before i started writing this. There is a noise that happens every 2-4 seconds, it's pretty regular, it sounds like a grasshopper, or other chirping bug/insect inside my laptop. It sounds like metal scraping against metal, which is worrying. It's coming from the right hand side of the Magic Track Pad, which is where i believe the Hard Drive is. I've looked online and this seems to be a sign that the harddrive is dying.

Yeah, the problem has been solved.
Unfortunately, the solution is buying a new storage device.
So if you're having these issues, i tried almost everything consumer possible, that's free anyway, and the hard drive was just too faulty to work properly. So backup all your stuff whilst you still can.
I bought an SSD for around £80, only 120 gigs of storage, but i have iTunes Match so i don't need to have my films and music downloaded.
If you're very mobile with your laptop, then i suggest getting an SSD. Lugging about a laptop with a storage device with moving parts is very very risky.
As soon as i got a new storage device, everything was back to normal. It was like it was new again.
Anyway, sorry i can't give you a free solution, but it's the only solution i got.

Lag spikes during League of Legends

I just got this laptop within the past two weeks. I was looking for a computer that could handle gaming and graphics but could do everything else with a reasonable price tag. I came up on this computer and got it customized and shipped to me. I play games like League of Legends that require a lot of virtual memory and RAM in order to run smoothly. With that being said, I downloaded League of Legends after getting the laptop and started playing a game. After about 10 minutes I started lagging horribly. My FPS dropped down to 4-5. So I did the normal thing everyone recommends. Close down all background apps, make the computer where it conforms to better performance, restarted internet, and restarted computer. After doing all the steps above I once again was playing a game just fine until about 10 minutes into the game my FPS dropped down yet again. This is a repeating error that happens about every other few minutes. I googled if anyone else had this problem and apparently I'm not the only HP user who has this issue. With that being said does anyone know how I could fix these random lag spikes and play a peaceful game of League?
Yes It's Lulu

>> I play games like League of Legends that require a lot of virtual memory and RAM in order to run smoothly.
Hi,
Please check Memory from Task Manager to see available RAM after 10 mins. Please bear in mind, even you have a lot of RAM available but system can only allocae/assign up to the max number. Laptops for games are not cheap, you need to spend at least $2,500 for a laptop to be able to play high end games.
Regards.

WRT400N Lag spikes, similar in time, IP renewing? Please help

Hello, I just recently purchase the WRT400N along with a WMP600N (Dual band PCI wireless card) I am connected to the internet constantly. Never drop my connection, how ever I purchased all this for a single reason-to play world of warcraft.
When I am playing I get a lag spike that lasts a few seconds and happens ever 30-60 seconds. I have tried connecting to both 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz networks and I get the same issue every time. I never had this problem so consitently with my old router and wireless card.
Any help is much appreciated.
Speed- 2.4mghz 130mbps
5.0 mghz 150-252mbps
Singal is High and very high for both networks. Both networks are on a WEP security.

Login to the router setup and click on the Wireless tab and below click on the sub tab "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
You can change this settings for 5GHz and for 2.4GHz...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

System-wide lag spikes. Possible reasons?

Hi!
I have been having issues with my iMac for quite some time now and i have never really succeeded to figure out what might be causing it. The profromance of my iMac on regular basis is outstanding as I would expect it to be. How ever, every once in a while i would get an system-wide "lag spike". Everything would frzee for a second or two and the rainbow loading circle pointer would appear. During that time i cannot do absolutely anything besides move the mouse pointer.
This issue, I believe, started to take place after i replaced my HDD with SSDs. I have two raided OCZ Aggility 3 drives. I use the iMacs old HDD as an external storage. The old HDD has been formatted. Also i would like to point out that according to some standard SDD benchmarks i am not getting the performance one would expect from them.
Else than that, my iMac is mid 2010 2,8 ghz i5, i have 12gigs for 1333 DDR3 and im currently running on Mavericks, but i did have this issue on the previous versions as well.
This is my first post ever so please go easy on me. If you feel i havent written or explained enough please do let me know and i will see it corrected.

I've got this problem on Macbook pro (mid 2010, 2,4ghz i5, 8gb ram, nvidia gt330m)
I don't think it ever happened before upgrading to mavericks. But now it's horrible!
It seems to only happen to me when I'm running unity3D, but does happen every minute or even more often. And the system freezes for anywhere between a second and 15 seconds...

Severe Lag Spikes - GE70 2PC Apache

Hello everyone,
I consulted the search function and found out that I'm not alone with this, but sadly there also was no fix for my problem.
I bought the GE70 just recently and am pretty happy with it. It has decent specs and runs every game that I play very smoothly.
Until I enter online modes.
I get super hard lag spikes from 50-60ms up to nearly 300ms, which is super annoying especially in games like dota2 or any shooter. These lags occur every 2-5 minutes. The MSI support suggested that I should lower my Wi-Fi adapter settings using these options
Quote
Dear user,
1. Update the latest NVIDIA driver from the official MSI website.
2. Configure the WLAN adapter setting
1. change HT mode-> Disabled 2. Preferred Band -> 2.4GHz 3. Roaming Aggressiveness -> Lowest
We also suggest router with 802.11n
I did all of the above, but didnt achieve the desired outcome. In fact, it helped a little as it reduced the occurence of lags from every 2-5 minutes to every 5 minutes. Yet, i still believe that there has to be a final solution.
This is what my device manager looks like, after I updated the latest intel wifi & bluetooth drivers:
During all the research I did to find a solution to my problem, I cam up with a great way to test whether the problem is fixed or not.
So for everbody that has this problem and needs to check whether it is solved, after trying something new:
WinKey + R
type "cmd"
type "ipconfig" into the cmd window
locate the Standard-Gateway for the connection you're currently using (often times it's 192.168.1.1)
type "ping 192.168.1.1 -t"
This will ping your router every second or two. If you leave it running for five to ten minutes, you can press Ctrl + Scroll Lock and it will show you some statistics. They look like this (if you have lag spikes)
Anyways, after reading quite a bit, i found out that the issues I'm having might relate to the Killer e2200, unfortunately, i was not able locating neither the newest driver nor the KillerCleaner (both of which are suggested here) and therefore could not try fixing it that way.
I am also suspecting the nvidia geforce experience software to be the cause, but i am not sure.
So here I am guys, trying to solve this problem, since it bugs me a lot. I just want to be able to play any game without these stupid lags. Simply using an ethernet cable is not an option. :(
So yeah, any help is appreciated.
My Specs:
GE70 2PC Apache
Win7 64bit Home Premium (free windows 10 upgrade, woohoo :D)
+ the connectivity devices from above
Here, have some more pictures of spikes:
Edit: Wrong devmgr-pic attached.

Ofc i did. Twice in fact. Although the first support guys were only making wild guesses such as referring to this link https://dragoonarmy.msi.com/home/info/labs/detail/309 which relates to the GT72 and not the GE70 which has no Shift whatsoever.
Then they started talking about the HDDs power saving mode and decreasing the W-Lan-Adapters performance, as quoted above. Not only was nothing related to my problem but in fact completely off topic.
My second experience with the support was just now. They referred me to the same guide you did and which i found myself already.
Now the support dude suggests that i do this:
- Reinstall Windows and only install SCM (which i believe to be the Steel Series thingy) and nothing else from the driverCD that came with the laptop.
- then to update the bios and ec firmware (whatever that is)
and if nothing helps i am supposed to sent the laptop for a checkup. which sucks, as i am going to shanghai in a week. so either i reinstall windows. which already sucks. or i contact msi china once i am there. and explain my problem. in chinese. probably xD
Anyways, I don't think a new laptop should be more influenced by electromagnetic intereferences as an old one. since better shielding amirite?^^

Very brief lag spikes - please help!

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with a small problem I'm having.
I've began to notice that I'm getting very brief spikes of lag during internet browsing/gaming/skyping and teamspeak sessions.
It mainly occurs when I use TeamSpeak or Skype. For the most part, everything is fine; however every 10 minutes or so I won't be able to hear anyone else (other users can't hear me either) for a few seconds. It may not sound like a big deal but when it repeatedly happens and I'm trying to have a conversation with someone it can be very annoying indeed. I thought it may have just been a problem with TeamSpeak but I have noticed the exact same problem happens with Skype as well. I also have lag spikes during my gaming sessions.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem or what I could do to fix it?
I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Macbook Pro Airport extreme cyclical lag spikes

It seems that my Airport is dropping packets and generally lagging in a regular fashion:
I first noticed it while gaming on the macbook, everything was running fine, however every 15-20 seconds or so a massive lag spike would occur, bringing my ping from 100 to 1000ish, and the game was indicating a large amount of packet loss. I don't really use the MacBook to game and I've never had that problem while gaming with other machines on the same network, which leads me to believe it has something to do with the computer/airport.
To try this out a bit more, I had a go at uni today, and found the same problem using the uni's network. Seems to confirm that this has to do with problem on the computer side.
To get something easier to measure, I used the ping command on the MacBook and on a desktop on the same network.
Results:
MacBook and Desktop have the same latency (same network so normal) however every 15 pings or so on the Macbook there would be a big lag spike lasting usually for 4 pings, with the latency increasing by a factor of 10
ping also reported a packet loss of 2% on the Macbook compared to 0% on the desktop comp.
The desktop is MacPro also with an Airport extreme
There you have it
Seems to me that there is a problem with the airport card although the fact that the lag is cyclical is a bit weird, but the laptop has an extended warranty so I should be ok if any repairs need to be made
Anyone with any info feel free to share :P

Well I though the problem was gone, but it seems to have resurfaced... kinda.
I previously had an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express "brick" (both 802.11n) running in WDS. After unplugging the Express and disabling WDS, the problem seems to be gone (I've only seen one recurrence, and it could well have been the fault of the remote end of the transfer.)
So I think it might be a dodgy WDS implementation. I'm a little worried though, given that I saw what looked like a recurrence -- I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem is still there, lurking, waiting to sneak up and surprise me when I least expect it... Still, unless it becomes an issue again, I'll chalk it up to firmware quirks and keep my fingers crossed that it's not an issue with my wireless NIC.

Lag spikes every few seconds

I am having lag spikes on both wired and wireless connections which give 1200-2500 ms ping spikes every 20 seconds or so. I have reset the router and also ping tested connection to the router which yields >1ms. I pinged the League of Legends server twice as shown from the link: http://prntscr.com/80xxam one gave a fine ping, then moments later a ping spike. Nothing online can be done without these interruptions or being kicked from servers. I have also done a speed test which says everything is fine, but that is obviously not the case. I had this problem on Windows 7 and I am now running Windows 10 with the problem still there. The Wireless Gateway I have is TG862, so drivers/firmware should all be the most up to date. Can you tell me if its something from Comcast side or if I'm missing something? Thanks in advance.

Awful lag spikes

why is it that speeds are good, synced at 64 down and 20 up but getting lag spikes every 5 mins, going from 15 to 999, its not constant 999, it will be fine then 10 seconds later 999 then fine again then 999, you get the drift.

spoke on the phone with bt they gave it the all clear but i explained that my girlfriends mum has sky multiroom and that the wiring has been done very poorly and he said an engineer will be out to rewire for only £35, here are some pics these are in order of how its connected
http://gyazo.com/d26be302416fcb7d0f851a525ca712ce

http://gyazo.com/7e79ffa8a3bf4e923ac0a57bd7a91700
the second part of the cable then goes through the wall and into another filter which then connects to a sky hd box.
now take a look at this image this is the wires that go to the extension socket where the router is connected, at my mums in 2 of the terminals there are wires connected, the third was a bell wire i disconnected over a year ago before she got fibre, now this image is from my girlfriends mums, are these wires supposed to be connected, maybe this is the cause of the drop outs as the extension is only connected by 2 wires of which are not in the terminals.

In desperate need for help - Lag spikes through a wired connection

Hello. I've recently started experiencing random lag spikes. I have no idea what the cause of these could be. I've used this router for almost 2 yrs now and never ran into a problem. I've done extensive searches and updated my old firmware to the new one following the strict intructions. I've also been trying to figure out how to log my network to provide more information on my situation. I've downloaded kiwisyslogd but have no idea how to use it... Any help with that would also be greatly appreciated.
-Tesm
EXTRA INFO - I called my isp (cox) and they told me everything on their line is fine. I'm running on a 15mb line. Internet connection works and everything else is fine except for periodic lag spikes that really interupt my gaming and web browsing severly.
router: wrt54g v2
Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) std then reverted back to linksys latest firmware... still no solution.
Tried isolating the router out of the equation. Connected pc directly to the modem and had no problems. Connected the router back in and lag spikes came back. Pc is connected through ethernet wire.
Tried disabling windows wireless zero service - no help
Pinging a game server i tested the lag at. No problems when I pinged the server with the router. But when I joined the server with the game. I experience the lag spikes. Could this mean its not my router? When I plug the modem directly to my pc this problem doesn't happen.

Constant lag spikes in WoW

I'd like to start off by saying im not very tech savvy so im sorry if this has been explained before but i dont really know what im looking for to fix
For about a week or so now i've been experiencing terrible lag spikes, my "world ms" has been ranging from 500 to over 2000, with me often waiting 20 seconds or more for something to happen in game, sometimes i just get disconnected. This only happens in world of warcraft, no other games, and my download and browsing speeds are the same as normal.
Needless to say its terribly frustrating, does anybody know why this is happening? If you need any technical information from me just say so but please be kind enough to tell me how to get it for you

This is what is happening to me, you might want to look at my thread
http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/Packet-loss-High-latency-and-disconnection/td-...
I would also suggest posting a traceroute and pathping to a new thread on the tech support forum on battle.net (best to do it while you are mid-disconnect - there is a guide on how to report latency issues stickied on the forum) and see if anyone has any ideas.

^ WoW EU tech support forum
https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/running-a-trace-route
^ This is how to run a WoW traceroute - you need to find out which battlegroup your main server is in to get the right IP address to put in. Hover over the battlegroups on that page to get a server list.
https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/running-a-pathping-test
^ This is how to run a pathping, similar method as above.
You will need to wait quite some time for both of these to complete, about 5-10 mins each. It is finished when the cursor starts a new line (new command prompt) in the CMD box.
If you follow the instructions properly for both you will instruct your PC to test the route your connection takes to the WoW servers, the time it takes, and the quality of the connection and put them into handy text files which you can then copy/paste to this forum / WoW forums to help diagnose the problem.
As you can see from my thread linked above the data is bounced through quite a few locations before reaching WoW (seen as telia.net servers - they manage WoW's servers in Europe) if the delay/packet loss is at a Telia location it's a WoW problem, if it happens before then it's either your personal connection or a BT issue.
I am interested to know whether this problem is similar to mine- I can't seem to stay online for more than a few minutes at the moment!
