Wifi problems..

[BlizzleXX]

Okay so i have a decently good comuter no reason to be lagging from runescape, im 99% sure its i dont have a good wireless connection to my modem...idk i did a little bit of researching...sounds like wireless isnt good for any games at all how many of you guys use wireless and are okay? also my bedroom is semi-far away from modem i know that has a issue.

 

 

So what are my options i want to get a wired connection but i cant really run a wire place i rent wont let me drill (know this from when i got cable, why i dont have it in my room ) i guess i could staple it allong the ceiling

 

or maybe its just i need a new modem a better one with better ranges but will that still even be as good as a wired connection?

 

Or if i was gonna run a cable it wouldnt be a ethernet cord it'd be cable cord so i could get cable also and im pretty sure my internet runs through that too i'd just need to get another router i don't really know how it works?

 

help would be great..like sometimes my internet runs alright and sometimes its complete shit i lose signal strength bars all the time sometimes im at 2 bars.....

 

 

Anybody here used the nero powerline thing before? reviews i read are all bad so i don't trust it

Hmm , wireless should be fine man.. How is your signal in your room , is it strong or do u lose signal every now and then?

get a new modem. same thing happen to me exactly last week.

I use wireless.

It could be many things.

Shitty provider that lags at peak times, busy area, low computer memory/shitty computer.

My be worth cleaning your computer and removing some programmes.

Make sure your connection is secure and others near you aren't leeching off of it.

i use wireless also and usually you have to turn off the modem for awhile then turn it back on then my internet will work fine again

[Dizzy]

Is there a way to move the router to your room, so that you can wire the connection?

[i tauntz i]

wireless will never be as good at weird however a wireless connection will be fine for rs and like 99% of anything you will use it for 

 

probs shitty provider or possibly pc

i think it may be the modem i had issues with mine a few months back and got a better one and it works perfectly fine now 

[BlizzleXX]

thanks guys, and yeah only way i can get it in my room is running a cable all the way up which im trying to avoid but might have to

[BlizzleXX]

i also just have shitty modem the cable company gave me

[BlizzleXX]

Pros

None, the wireless N has a very weak signal that is slow, and the modem has to be restarted and re provisioned every 2 weeks!!

Cons

terrible design , tech support is very annoying , every time you call they make you do the same steps over and over, even though they have notes and know you have done this they only know what the operator manual says,Needless to say not much help

Summary

DO NOT BUY , docsys 2.0 is fast than this paperweight, Motorola does not have the quality they had 3 years ago

Pros

Got rid of some excess money I had laying around. Saved my isp from having to rent me hardware that might actually work.

Cons

Motorola promised blazing wireless speeds. Dial-up would be faster and less frustrating. I will never purchase another motorola device ever!

Summary

If you want to spend countless hours browsing tech forums in an attempt to get the wireless on this device to work then by all means go ahead and purchase it.

Depends which company you are with & the signal quality provided - check if there now pumping out fibre to you rather than standard, many companies have switched over :)
