Ive been playing Counter Strike Source for years now using a wireless network and Ive always noticed lag when playing online. Im currently using a dlink g404t wireless router and my computer has an AMD 4000+ cpu with Radeon x1800xt graphics and onboard wifi from the Asus M2N32-SLi-DLX motherboard. The router is situated downstairs and my computer almost directly upstairs from it. The reception I get is always between very good and excellent.
My question is does wifi introduce noticeable lag in games like Counter strike? Is it just that my router is crap? Are there any other wifi alternatives that will improve this if so? Or should I just go with a wired configuration?
