WRT54G Router Issue

Dragos276 · 10-30-2008, 10:36 AM

I have a Linksys WRT54G broadband router and would like to now a solution for my problem:

When I play games on the internet ( Warcraft III, FIFA, Age of Empires) I'm having a short delay at a random time. This delay stands up for 2-3 seconds. Then all goes fine except for the next short delay. I've changed my ISP and modem but the delay still appears. My router firmware is 7.0.0.1.

Any solutions for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have double post this thread because now I'vre realised where to post it

Nope the delay didn't happened when I had connected directly to the modem

Are you connecting wired or wireless to the router?

Dragos276 · 11-02-2008, 01:19 AM

Wireless, using a Gigabyte Wireless Card

does it happen when connected directly to the router instead of going wireless?

When I'm connected directly to the router the delay doesn't happens.

it sounds like there is something in the air that could be causing the delay. It could be materials in the wall to distance to other electronic/digital appliances in the home. what happens when you place the computer right next to the router and use the wifi? One thing you can try is to change channels on the router.

Some things you can try here.

For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.

1. The channel was changed by me from the beginning. I am not from the US so I have the channel changed to 4 or 5

2. I have moved the router next to my Wireless Card and next to my computer (as close I could - the distance between my computer and router is 10 feet now ).

3. I have updated the latest firmware from Linksys' site

And still it's happening. I will try the last thing and see if it works.

I have re-configured the router and still the delay continues...

**johnwill** · 11-12-2008, 05:11 PM

Does the delay occur when wired directly to the router (not directly to the modem)?

Dragos276 · 11-14-2008, 06:11 AM

I am not using a modem. And yes when I'm wired directly to the router the delay doesn't occur

And also, I have spoken with Linksys about my problem ( using their Live Chat program ) and neither they have a solution.

Well, if you've done all the steps outlined previously, I'd try updating the wireless drivers on the problem machine.
