Re: [XP] Wired vs Wireless, ping in games
Another thing it could be is a bad cable too. I would swap the cable with another CAT5e cable and run another test. I would also do what jimbopalmer suggested and make sure all your network drivers are up to date.

| I tried 3 different cables which i believe 1 is very good, no trace of bending on those cables. No change.
Let me explain my configuration a little more.
I got 2 routers. Airties and Zoom x4(1st model). I set Zoom to handle internet and Airties router to act as a simple remote access. It's a long story why i set it up like this :P
Now i have 3 options for this computer.
1. Computer > Realtek Onboard NIC > Ethernet Cable > Airties > Zoom > Internet = Home LAN
2. Computer > Realtek Onboard NIC > Ethernet Cable > Zoom > Internet = Single Computer - NO LAN
3. Computer > Edimax USB Wireless Adapter (Atheros) > Airties > Zoom > Internet = Home LAN
Options 1 and 2 are almost identically same in WoW. About 160 ms latency at best.
Option 3 is the best with 80-100 ms.
All 3 options start with 70 ms when i just login to the game server. Then Options 1 and 2 climb their way to 160-280 range while option 3 stays around 100ms.
The remaining option is to get an external ethernet nic and prove the onboard nic sux  |
