The last week I've been experiencing some major lag when i try to play online games like bf4 or LoL when previously i never had those issues.

My wireless network adapter is a D-Link DWA-140 RangeBooster N USB Adapter (rev.B2) and i downloaded and installed the latest driver for this.

So ran a few pings to google.com and i get these ridiculous high latency spikes every few seconds
5


I did the same tests on my dads computer who's is connected by cable and doesn't get any spikes in his latency

Here is the link for the picture in case it didn't upload:

wireless interference more than likely .. if you have your cell phone turned on for in house wifi and you leave it near your computer i found that spikes happen less when the phones wifi is turned off. with out going into details if your in a location with a lot of wireless networks around like an apartment building or with a bunch of houses in range of your wireless antenna you could get interference that way as well so look into wireless interference on google or wiki

i know the bf servers aren't that great :p but that doesn't explain why i get the same lag spikes in LoL and why i get spikes in my ping
i've tried almost every thing i could find on the web so i'am getting desperate
