High Packetloss and Latency spikes

[Neomatt]

I've been having very high packet loss and issues with ping for the last month or so, i use teamspeak a lot so its no good if i can only hear part of what people are saying!

When playing World of Warcraft, i get around 491ms latency! This sometimes shoots up to over 1400.

I'm using a NETGEAR DG834N router and there are some pictures below showing the connection.

Any help would be appreciated!

Line stats look fine, no issues there. Have you tried doing a proper ping to these servers from the command prompt? Open a command prompt and type: "ping serverip" then press enter.

Also I see you are using wireless as opposed to normal ethernet - is the router not near the PC? Wireless is a big no-no for gaming, I personally think.

The router is in the next room and i never had these kind of problems before, i've pinged the server with no time outs and around a 105ms response, works fine for all of my friends, some of which are on wireless.

If the ping is 105ms then that shows no problem? I presume it's a server in the US with that ping?

Normally wireless will be OK, but it should not be relied upon for low latency applications. Cable is always best.
