Hi all,

Just recently started WoWing and I have this problem. If I direct connect to the modem I don't drop in WoW but if I use my wireless router + wireless adapter it will dc every 5-10 secs. I have narrowed down to either the

1. Router ( Planex/Level One blw-04em)
2. Wireless Adaptor ( Planex/Level One WNC-0300USB)
3. My USB port?

What hardware are you guys using assuming you are playing wireless?

As I think the problem lies with the router any recommendations on a stable router? Thanks!

Is your wireless router far from your adapter ? For gaming, direct cable is recommended, the reponse is faster by a couple of ms

i would agree on using direct cables for gaming but my cousin can wow with wireless...his wireless router located in his father room while his pc is outside the living room...there is a wall seperates them and he still can play well....he using Dlink router and a ciplak USB wireless

Linksys Wireless-G Router upstairs, D-Link PCI Wireless-G Adapter on my puter in my bedroom, downstairs.. signal is a constant 3 out of 5 bars.. sometimes cutout also.. so i bought this today --> http://www.dlink.com.my/products/?pid=356

will report how it goes

Kusa,
Yea! Please do let usme know. Its very frust when I keep on getting dced by WoW. Other games e.g. Guild Wars no problemo. I think WoW is very packet sensitive. I might go out these few days to get a new router.

Sweet Lord this antenna is great.. instead of waning signals from 1-3 bars, now i get 4 bars constant! no more cutouts from WoW is t3h s3x!

Wahhhh! Good to know. Well I better go shopping for a new router

i'm using a d-link wireless AP + router + modem (RM255)
never got DCed before but lately there's a problem with streamyx. i bought a 1mbps line from them but from their speedometer i'm only getting 498kbps. damn frust coz my WoW now latency is above 7k!!

Wow thats crazy high... last time I used to get like 8-10k latency... basically I just sat around and did nothing. You can try reconnectiong a few times as it sometimes helps. If I direct connect to my modem I get around 400-500 response time which is bearable.

What adapter are you using (The pc side I mean). Iif I use wireless = dc within 5 seconds. Haha!

ya high latency is crazy. imagine i go in to warsong, or arathi basin pvp, basket... i aim this fella when i run towards him, the next thing i know, he teleport somewhere else ady! hahaha


umm i have a telekom line dedicated for internet only and the PC is connect via cable to my wifi router. this is to get the full amount of bandwidth needed, so i have another notebook, that helps me in downloading torrents! hahaha
woo hoo this morning my internet line go back to normal! latency in WoW only 300+
last night cannot check coz of the server maintenance...
