Problems with online gaming.

Hi All,

It's not often I venture out of GD or Motors so this is scary

Having recently bought myself a rig, to my surpirse the people who shall be left anon haven't supplied me with a Wireless network solution, so the day the PC arrived and i went and got myself a Netgear WG111v3 USB Adapter thinking that it would be sufficiant.

I'm having problems with COD 4 Online though, every 45 seconds or so it's coming up saying Connection Interupted... and quite frankly it's getting me killed.

Am I to guess that a PCI based solution is going to be better? if so from OCuk Range (as I will go and collect it) will be the best for me to have (Don't want to spend a bomb either)

Thanks for any help

I don't have any problems surfing or downloading normally on my Laptop.. the connection is strong from the Dongle..

Is it worth getting a PCI card and seeing if it will help? unfortunatley a Wired connection isn't possible as there isn't a phone line in my room

Connection Interupted is a pretty common problem with cod4
do you actually get disconnected from the server ?
happens to me a lot when waiting to spawn

EDIT : btw i would always use a wired connection for gaming

nope. It just happens every minute or two it lags for 2-3 seconds and continues normal.

I've just run a test on my Laptop too as I never had this problem playing COD 4 on it.

It's not happening at all on there so I can only guess that it's the dongle in the PC not being quick enough? as my rig is a lot more powerfull than this.

Edit: Could USB be an issue here? another reason I ask if it would be quicker overall by getting a PCI card?
