When I connect directly to the router(Cisco DCP 3825) with a Cat6 30ft cable I get horrible rubber banding in all of my games. But when I use wireless d-link adapter I get no lag but instead I receive 2-5 second drop outs randomly throughout the day. I have no idea why the wired connection is worse then wireless or why the wireless randomly drops out. Any fixes , suggestions ?

Like the poster above more info is needed do you have cable, DSL, Satellite, dial-up, what operating system are you using.
I would first try to move the computer closer and try another cable, cables go bad and can cause dropped packets causing the rubber banding, and it sounds like your having that issue already.
If you click Start then search on Vista/7 or run on XP or older in the search or run line type "cmd" without the quotation marks, this will bring up a command prompt. In the command prompt type ping -t www.google.com or any web address you prefer and watch the pings for time outs or high latency numbers (500+) all you have to do to stop the pings is press the Ctrl key and c at the same time.
a lot of the time there are wiring...

it depends on your computer. if its a desktop, its possible the onboard network adapter needs a driver update, bios update, or both. also depending on the make/chipset/manufacturer, your motherboard's network adapter may be slow (10/100/1000, you could be running 10 which is bad). some more information about your system may help troubleshooting.

a lot of the time there are wiring issues especially with DSL lines that can cause this.

Thnx for your time, heres some information on my system,

I updated my bios couple months ago, I will look into and try to find a network adapter update. Do you know how I could check the 10/100/1000 speed ?

I have Cable from Shaw and I followed your directions, and every 3-5 results come back with 600-700 ms, while the ones in between are 30-35 ms. This pretty much sums up my online gaming experience right now. Thank you for showing me this , any tips on a fix?

I've been playing around with it for a while and I located the issue, when one of the other computers are hooked up to the network the ping fluctuates abnormally, causing the 600-700 ms. When I disconnect that computer it stabilizes between 30-45 . I will run anti-virus/malware and network adapter upgrades and see if I can fix the problem on that pc. Thank you very much your tip helped me solve this issue that I have been stuck on for days :)

If the virus scan comes up clean you can try changing the cable to that computer, or it may be a bad network card too but I am glad you have at least seemed to have it isolated anyway.
