Random Lag Spikes While Playing Games?
Oct 11, 2012
I have Planet modem ade-4400 linked to a Digitus ethernet Dn 5001a that I use to connect my 2nd PC.The problem is that everytime, both PCs are connected I constantly get lag spikes while playing games.Also, seemingly on random occasions, no matter what programs I run in the background my connection gets disabled with a yellow exclamation mark over my network icon. I get a "The default gateway is not available" error once I troubleshoot, and the connection works fine afterwards.
However, recently after I updated the windows I think, I get another error that says "The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken" along with the gateway one. Also, recently, I started having lag spikes regardless of the other computer being connected to mine after the error, and once I turn on my pc. Could it be somehow related to Microsoft security essentials? Since I've installed it at about the same time when the lag-after-the-error started happening.
Error seems to happen more often when I watch something on the internet, or when I quickly browse through the web-pages, or when I'm downloading something. I'm using Windows 7, and another thing to note is that the other computer DOES NOT receive these kinds of errors, and I do believe it does not lag while playing games.The lag after the error and after I start up my pc goes away after some time.

try to play online games but i can't because i get so many ping spikes. I started investigating and i've noticed that i'm getting ping when pinging my router. I'm using wlan and i can't use ethernet. Also the bandwidth is really low on the connection, 512 kbps Also, there are more than 1 computers connected, even if they dont use the connection constantly

I am having the same exact problem with the random freezing. I used to be sponsored on Xbox 360 for call of duty black ops and my mom met this guy and i had to move into his house, So now i had to drop my sponsorship and everything because i randomly freeze for about 3 seconds and then unfreeze and i jump forward and catch up to what apparently i was doing but not doing on my screen. It even happens on world of warcraft on my computer and it is very aggravating to have to deal with. And just like Cassius is saying "the ping spikes ruin online gaming entirely and tbh."

I got a new router, a Cisco Linksys EA3500, and everything works fine and no one else in my family notices anything wrong. Everything works and I don't have trouble accessing the internet, but whenever I play a game online it will disconnect me after a while. Sometimes it disconnects me after 5 minutes and sometimes after 30 minutes. I have this problem with every game I play, except for Runescape. The weird thing is that I talk to friends on steam when we are playing and it doesn't get disconnected I can hear them fine, and my internet access bar at the lower right doesn't say I'm disconnected.Streaming and downloading work as well.I tried to port forward and I assumed it would work but I still had the same disconnection problem. I tried to port forward again but this time I used the tool at portforward.com to check if they were forwarded properly and it said your port is not open or not reachable. I tried this with a lot of random ports and it said the same thing.

Whenever playing a game on my laptop such as WOW or EvE online my wireless internet will disconnect. I have a button on my keyboard that turns my wireless on and off like many laptops do, and when playing these games after a couple minutes it will be turned off and I need to restart my computer to be able to get my wireless working again. This must be a problem with my computer and not the internet itself because I'm on campus and I see many other people playing games here.

Now there is an issue that I don't really know how to deal with it and its the multiplayer games ping that I get lately , its about 3 months that I get very high pings when connecting online to a multiplayer server , no matter which game it is , the same happens.
I was getting around 380-470 ping while playing on an European server , but then we solved my last problem (The someone that was connected to my home network) and it reduced the ping to something around 250-300 (sometimes it drops to 100-120).
It is still very high , 3 months ago I had a real bad internet connection and when I was playing on European server's I was getting a stable ping of 100-120 that was normal !
A friend of mine got the same connection that I have and he gets a ping of 100-120 and we play on the same servers (same ISP too).
How can I know where the problems come from ? I did move to a new house in a new area , maybe the ISP server's over there are weak and over loaded ? Because when its like 02.00 AM I am getting a stable ping of 100-120 . What is going on here ? Is there a possibility to ask the ISP to move my connection to another area servers or something like that ?

Dell Online is saying my desktop is out of warranty and I cannot lodge and email service request.i have noticed with my XPS8300 then when playing games (not online) or when streaming videos, the wireless NIC will either disconnect (and refuse to reconnect even though it can see the network) or remains connected but does not allow any traffic to flow. The wireless NIC returns to normal roughly a minute afer I have exited / closed a game.
If I try to run online games (i.e. COD Black Ops), I constantly get the "Connection Interrupted" error message despite the wireless NIC showing full connection.To test whether if it's the room, I brought in my laptop and it did not have the same issue. Therefore, I am thinking it could be the half-mini wireless NIC.I have tried looking everywhere but nobody seems to have experienced this or have a solution. Dell just told me to reinstall the drivers, which I've done but to no avail.

My computer has started acting really weird. My internet connection is fine except when I try to play a game online I'll be on for a few seconds and then the connection shuts down. Not just for the game but for everything. When I used windows troubleshoot it had these errors."the connection between your access point router or cable modem and the internet is broken default gateway is not available: detected" and"the default gateway is not available:fixed"After I do that I have a connection again but the same thing happens when I play another game.I have tried updating my drivers, scanning for malware of all sorts, registry cleaning, and I even reformatted.

I'm using a Sierra wireless 4g aircard for internet access, the ISP is Clearwire. Normally it works fine with no problems, but a few days ago I started getting a connectivity issue. When playing games, even games that don't use the internet connection at all, and ONLY playing games (it's fine as I type this, I'm even dling something in the background), the connection will be lost, and the thing will immediately reaquire the signal and reconnect, the whole process takes like 20 seconds. The result is it's impossible to play games, I get 10k ms lag spikes every couple minutes that last for about 30 seconds, and if I'm playing most server based games (Steam Source games) I just get disconnected outright.

Up until now, my wired connection to my modem has been flawless. Recently I have been experiencing periodic connection drops. This is most noticeable when I play multiplayer games. I use Comcast ISP.[CODE]

My internet connection keeps freezing when I'm trying to play Diablo 3. I can't connect directly to the modem because it's my roommates internet and it's connected to her computer so my only option is wireless or to connect directly via adapter that goes through the power outlets in the house. It's getting very annoying skipping around and it's almost impossible to play diablo 3 with this lag. I notice I drop a lot of packets when pinging to the diablo 3 server and I don't know why.

I am playing a game, like Battlefield Bad Company 2. Every 5-15 minutes, I get 3 lag spikes. When I get the lag spikes, everyone who is using my internet, also gets it the same time as me. So my computer is not the problem.For example: I am just running, shooting people (online), and then, randomly, people are running on the spot for like 3 seconds, and then they teleport somewhere in front of them. And then it goes back to normal, then it happens again. It will happen 3 times.

Everything works and I don't have trouble accessing the internet and I always get 5 bars, but whenever I play a game online it will disconnect me after a while. Sometimes it disconnects me after 5 minutes and sometimes after 30 minutes. The only games I play are Arma 2 and Garry's mod and I have the same problem with both games. The weird thing is that I talk to friends on steam when we are playing and it doesn't get disconnected I can hear them fine, and my internet access bar at the lower right doesn't say I'm disconnected. Streaming and downloading work as well. I have no idea what to do, we got a new router because the old one was faulty and we called our isp and they said there was nothing wrong on their end it.

Just about 2 weeks ago, I keep getting disconnected from games that I play. It will boot me off of the game but I will still have internet access. I've tried upgrading the firmware, had linksys techs resetting the router, gotten a new modem from my ISP. Hardwired the PC that I normally use.The router that I have is a WRT120N, each and everytime a linksys tech reset it's basically the same thing with the same disconnecting problem afterwards. I'm thinking it's usually when another phone device tries to connect to the wifi that it boots me off. I have 2 pc's, one laptop and my iphone that connects fine w/o any problems but when another android or iphone connects it causes me to disconnect.

I recently puchased the WMP600N, connects great, I can browse the internet and even download without a problem.But when I try to play games such as world of warcraft, warcraft 3, (basically games that require immediate constant data transfers), I get 2-4 lag spikes every couple of minutes. As you might notice, this is a huge problem for many online games.

This has been a problem for quite a while now, jumping from Shaw to Telus,I have completely exhausted, and I have no idea what's wrong.I live in a household with another family, and we share internet connections, Telus Fiber Optik, as of now. Me and my brother both have our own computer and are connected via wireless adapter, and the other family has one laptop with wireless connection.
The problem would be that randomly, the internet would slow down considerably, with pings going insanely high, like over 9000ms (not joking).At first,I thought I was just too far away from the router.So I moved to a room directly under the router, and the internet was completely fine for around 1 week, then the random ping spikes started to happen again. Now, I've tried tweaking wireless settings, and checking to make sure its just not my wireless adapter, however my brother's adapter is new, but it has the same problem too, so I doubt its the adapters fault.

Since about 3 weeks ago my DSL has been getting totally random ping spikes, from under 40 to over 1500MS for minutes to hours on end. Nobody else is using my internet, I've verified this. There is nothing sucking up bandwidth on any connected device or computer, as far as I can tell through troubleshooting to the best of my ability. I tried switching to a Cisco X2000 modem/router combo and it did nothing, still totally random latency. Also, when I called AT&T about this, they didn't even know what ping was. They ran an upload/download speed test (which is still mostly consistent regardless of latency) and told me I was basically making the issue up.

I have a linksys router and a AE1000 adapter. When I first plugged in the adapter I had internet problems, always had to reconnect it. Then suddenly it worked flawlessly online and in video games. Now youtube videos load slower and I will get random lag spikes in game that last 5-7 seconds. I have done nothing to change the adapter, it just does this out of random.

Since last night 10/26/12 I have been experiencing random lag spikes on all games (Hawken Beta(installed yesterstay), Mechwarrior beta, MW3, and BF3).
* Framerates do NOT drop when the lag occurs
* Lag last for 1-3 seconds
* Lag occurs on both wireless and wired connections
* Lag occurs when no one but myself is on the network and while others are on it as well
* Only occurs while gaming as far as I can tell
* Unsure if other computers on network are lagging because none of them are gaming computers
* I have performed tests using SpeedTest and the ping/DL/UL speeds are normal
* Tried turning off Anti-virus (Kaspersky). No Change
* Ran virus and malware scans using Kaspersky and malwarebytes. Both negative results
I am able to run to see if it is a laptop hardware problem or a router/modem issue/ISP issue?Cable ISPCisco Modem (with phone)Netgear gigabit routerM14x-R1Intel I5-2430M8GB RAMGeforce 555m 3GBKiller Wireless-N 1103

Network running about 60 computers, most of which are running windows 7 professional. Some are on a domain, some are not.At (seemingly) random times, some computer on the network will lose the ability to browse websites (including the web interfaces of networked devices). I can't identify what circumstances cause this to occur. I only find out about it when someone calls me.From the affected computer:I can ping sites I can ping our Cyberoam UTM (which acts as our DNS, DHCP, and firewall)disabling/enabling connection doesn't fix the problem releasing/renewing ip doesn't fix the problem flushing dns doesnt fix the problem uninstalled antivirus on two test machines, problem still randomly manifests.replaced the Cyberoam with newer model users have claimed that if they wait a long period of time (40+ minutes) the problem sometimes resolves.rebooting the computer resolves the issue until it randomly occurs again changing the computer's mac address also resolves the issue until it randomly occurs again.

I am getting "There might be a problem with one of more fo the network adapters on this computer" and none of them will connect to a network. According to ipconfig /all.. None of them exist. Device manager seems the network adapter, and I can even "attempt" to connect to a wireless connection. Its like the adapters are not linked to any networking protocol. I have looked in the adapter properties, and they have all the needed services, protocols, etc are installed. When I ask windows to fix it I am told that "There might be a problem with one of more network adapters on this computer" with the options that it may be experiencing hardware related issues, that the IP bindings are incorrect, or that I should view available wireless networks. I have tries resetting the winsock and the tcpip stack with netsh, no no avail. Reinstalled network adapters. Finally, when I do an ipconfig /all there is one adapter. "Tunnel adapter local area connection* 7: And the media is disconnected.

At random times AT NIGHT, while Call of Duty, Black Ops, the signal on the game goes red. I have spent more nights on the phone with ATT without resolution and refuse to call again. An ATT tech has come to our house twice, once to check the outside line and to look inside too. Signal to house is always fine.We bought the 2Wire 2701HG-B since ATT said that our problem was we were running a modem and seperate router. We even sent the PS3 out for service thinking it was the problem. Yet here we are again with a red signal in the game.On the modem, the ethernet and wireless flash VERY rapidly, its more like a strobe than a flash. The internet and dsl lights are solid. We are considering going to cable from DSL.

I consider myself very technical and with pretty good knowledge of networking and routers, but I was baffled today. I was doing some testing and had a Firefox browser open with Pandora playing some music. I decided to reboot my router and much to my amazement, after pulling the power plug on the router, Pandora kept playing music as if nothing happened! It went on to play the entire 6 minute song then stopped when it attempted to go to the next song in the play list.I must admit I don't understand this. Even if it has something to do with a networking protocol I don't understand, the router is still needed for the physical (Ethernet wire) connections from my PC to the router and then ultimately through the cable modem to the internet. Of course, I did NOT turn off the cable modem--just the router.

where my internet dropped alot while playing ps3.i switched from my horrible d-link router to a DIR-655 Since i bought it, i've never dropped but my connection speed is an issue when playing my ps3.I use a wired connection through my router.some periods during the day it's 2 mbps download.. that's really slow considering my computer has 20 mbps download through wired connection.some periods during the day it runs fine @ 4 mbps - 5 mbps download (this is fine for gameplay but it lags a bit)if i directly connect my modem to my ps3 - it goes 20 mbps download (amazing fast speed)I called d-link technical support and did everything from port forwarding to turning on DMZ and putting my ps3 IP in there. I have a 2 part question: is there anything i can do to boost my ps3 connection download speed as high as it would be if it was connected straight to my modem while using a wired connection to my router? if that's not possible, is there anyway i can keep a stable download speed @ 5mbps?

Since about a week ago, my room-mates and I have been getting lag spikes on the internet when more than one of us are on the internet at once, yet the connection is perfectly stable when there is only one active. ( Does not matter which one. )
I've run Avast, AVG and CCcleaner, on all the computers and the spikes still persist. I've also replaced my router with no results. Here's my system info and some tracerts showing the lag spikes
System info:
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor, AMD64 Family 16 Model 5 Stepping 3

About 2 weeks ago I have been getting lag spikes on my xbox and PC games, this never happened.I have no problem playing the game, no lag. Apart from these spikes that happen every 10-15mins.They last for about 5-10 seconds and seriously affect my game. (I get killed)
Would switching channel through the 02 Wireless internet control panel fix this? Am I on a bad channel?p.s. It is not possible for me to haveit wired, wireless only.
