I've been experiencing lag. At first I thought it was just bad international connection, but it happens even when I'm playing other Malaysian players.

This is my connection overview:

Yeah, I'm too poor to buy the X360 wireless adapter, so I use connection sharing.

I use Prolink WGR1004 as my router (forwarded properly and all) and Prolink WG2000 as my wireless adapter. My Laptop is very outdated. A P3 1.2ghz 128mb SDRAM heck it doesn't even have a USB 2.0 port! (the WLAN connection is capped at 10mbps, but I don't think that's the problem)

Oh and my Laptop is at idle. I shut off every other PC using the router, my console is hogging everything. My suspect is my Laptop's poor performance, but I'm not sure.

Help!

Oh, and I'm on 1mbps tmnut screamyx.

Possible to use a long LAN cable?

Usually playing among msian wont have lag 1.

I will need a VERY long LAN cable. The direct range from my console to my router is roughly 4-5m, but when you try to get by the walls and not let the cable lie around it's going to take twice or thrice as much. I also heard that long LAN cables have more tendency for packet losses to occur. Is this true?

That's why I'm asking the question here. I'm not supposed to experience lag, but when I play GoW everyone is jumpy including me. My shots are also late.

I have tried 60ft without packet loss. Try moving your xbox near the router to test direct connection. If it still lags at least its not due to ur laptop.

I'll try when I have the chance, thanks.

OR save ur monies n eat bread for almost every meal n then u can afford to get the X360 wireless adaptor.

Hmm... are there cheaper and reliable 3rd party wireless adapters out there? Man, eating bread everyday for gaming's sake sucks. As much as I love gaming I love eating more

Buying the adapter is my last resort. I'll hear a few more suggestions first.

Hi all,

I am not sure if this is allowed, but I would love to join you guys online and play with you guys. The problem is that I don't really go online that often and I am seriously a newbie when it comes to online fragging (GOW, team fortress etc...) and I would love to play with you guys instead of the laggy people from usa or europe. So instead of me adding people from LYN one by one, can you guys just add me on XBOX live? It would be my honour to play with you guys.

Thanks all,

Regards,

Benjamin

Welcome. I have just merge your thread, use this instead for intro and stuff.

Basically you just need to spam post in any of the thread you interest in then people will notice you somehow, good or bad is entirely different story

Cat 6 cable should be able to go up to 100m without any problem

if u can find an older Linksys WRT54G (< Version 5) or WRT54GL, you can install 3rd party firmware (like sveasoft or dd-wrt) and turn it into a wireless receiver. i put DD-WRT in mine and used it to link my xbox1 & xbox360 to the network.

i'm not sure i posted in the correct place or not. but since it is newbie question, i guess this is the right place. i recently bought Splinter Cell Double Agent. my prob is, the loading take ages.

looks like my console hang and i need to off it. i never got chance to play the game. whenever its trying to load, it's hang. is it bcoz of the disc? pls dun tell me it cause by my console

Erm, there's a few things you can try first.

1. Try loading another game. Does it hang? If it doesn't, that means your Xbox is OK. If it hangs with all your game, that just simply means it's time to return it to Microsoft.
2. If it doesn't hang with another game, try clearing your Xbox HDD Cache. That might help.

Good luck.
