I recently purchased internet from my isp Cox "prefered plan" and i decidef to buy the dual band netgear n900 which is a cable modem and wirelesd device in one from cox. The problem is that when i got everything set up and hardwired my pc to the wireless router and attempted to play an online game called combat arms i would get a really unstable connection. I would go from 3 ping to 2 and sometimes 1 ping in a mater of minutes. Than i decided to cannect my old cable modem and the lagg and unstable connection disappeared. I would Also lagg when connected threw the wireless routers gigabit port even when i was the only one connected to it. Could it be the router or are hardwired connections less stable when connected though a wirelesd router. I was thinking of buying the Asus RT N66U, but not sure if i would have the same ploblem when running the game from its gigabit ports..
