Doesn't matter how good or bad your connection is. The Yanks will always host. If they have a crap connection you'll lag.
Yup - my connection is normally about 50 - 60% wireless (terraced house - damn those wall thicknesses ....) but played first game of COD in ages without any yanks and lo & behold - no lag
Just because you fail to get your equipment working properly or are using a less-than-steller IP, doesn't mean wireless gaming is "crap".
Where the hell have i said i cant get my equipment working correctly ?? I have never had a problem with my wireless 'working properly' when i had no other option but to use it. Given an option, which i have now, i use wireless and would never go back as there was a noticed difference once i got plugged in.
As for using a less tha steller IP, i am on Be* - hardly less than steller provider.
All your replies have been on a similar tone, ie other members dont know what they are doing as yours 'works flawlessly' etc yet never even gamed with it, then test on a demo ?? LOL
And yes wireless gaming is CRAP compared to wired.
I have also said i used it without problems when i had no wired option, (about 12 months) i would no tgo back to wireless after playing wired as other have also said.
I originally used a BT homehub wirelessly on my PS3 but just changed to Virgin and a Belkin router and have it connected via ethernet.
Both performed the same (wireless and hardwired), with the router in different locations.
Kids are BIG COD3/4 users so it gets hammered a lot + there are 2 desktop pcs, an archos 704, psp and laptop all connected wirelessly too but the speed is rarely affected.
Sounds like the o/p isnt using the correct wep key (found under the router).
