Lag spikes in wow

Raider888 · 4 May 2009 at 02:26

Hello.

In World Of Wacraft i often get lag spikes. I use a belkin wireless adapter that was only 10 quid, so i am considering buying a better one along with a new router. My question is, what price range am i looking at for a lag free adapter? Also, whats a decent router that's not stupidly expensive? Is it worth it? Will it improve my pvp performance?

Cheers

Do you even know it's because of the wireless adapter?

I'm pretty darn sure it is.

Well, having a lower latency (less lag) does often play a big part in WoW PvP. But if you're connecting to the US servers a little lag is inevitable, unless you play on one of the low population servers. If it's the EU servers then it shouldn't be so prevalent.

Personally I've never heard of routers causing lag problems unless you have a really weak wireless signal. But if you're set on getting one, I'd recommend this:

Belkin are a very reliable brand & this is definitely the best model I've used.
