Hello there ,
I bought a new USB wifi-adapter today , the Belkin N750 , since my previous one was damaged. So , since i am a gamer i chose this one because this one is desinged for gaming and streaming. It showed that i had 54,0 Mpbs , which was good because my other one had around 24,0-36 and had usually 30-70 ping on that , depending on which server i was playing. Now , today when I was playing LoL everything went crazy , i constantly dropped on skype , had sometimes between 10,000-18,000 ms , which is insane , after a while , i dropped back to 33 ms , to then fly go back to 15,000. It went like this all day long. I even had problems watching youtube videos and streams. Then i did a speedtest , when i did that ,my network status showed me i had 54,0 mpbs , and my speedtest showed me i had 1,33 mpbs dl speed. I pinged to my router , and it showed me an average of 244ms , which is also really weird. Anyone have some ideas what the problem may be here? :)

Ow and yes i rebooted my router , even called my provider (belgacom) , and they said they did some tweaking they said to optimize everything. And i have a 3 month old alienware desktop ,which has some really good stuff in there.

There could be some interference from your pc to your router. For wifi, your pc and router communicate by signal bouncing off the wall from one to another until it reaches your device. This interference could be result from a close room, interfering from other devices such as cellphone.

My suggestion is if you can, bring it close to your router or the other way around to see if it is interference or your wireless card is bad.

edit: How far is your pc to your router and how many bar?

So since we have a big house , I am on the 3rd floor and my router on the 1st floor.. I have usually between 2-3 bars..which is strange because with my previous one i had 5 all the time..
