Hi!

I replaced my old mini itx motherboard with the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard just after the summer of '13

There is no possibility for me to connect my computer to the internet (router) with a cable. So I have to use Wifi to connect myself online. This has been working pretty good. I have had previous difficulties and my Wifi has been turning off and on automatically and not allowing me to connect and saying its a limited connection. This problem was solved by disabling "Sleep/Wake-up mode" in the settings. But recently during the weekend, a problem occured. This was not about the instability in connection but in packet streams. I'm a hardcore CS:GO player and Its important to me to have a millisecond advantages, that means mechanical keyboard, 144hz monitor and everything. The problem is the ping and the responsive time has somehow gotten worse.
When I follow a "teammate" ingame he flicks a bit while moving. The same happends to my "character"

Here's an example video:

It takes longer time for my computer to send game information to the server which gives me a terrible disadvantage. This is game ruining and its strange that this occured now.

I have tried:

Installing new drivers; Intel-Pro drivers, ASUS official Wi-Fi drivers, Broadcom drivers and the NVRAM driver (which I had to install using command prompt and no silent install it, to only find out that no update was necessary)

It just happened all of a sudden and I know it's not a graphical problem since my friend next to me at that weekend had the same problem. The worst thing is if I play for 10 minutes in a match, the ping gets worse, and so bad that I get major ping and lag.

It's not rubberbanding by the way.

It's apparently a broadcom 802.11n "adapter"

Thank you for any help out there!

-A desperate gamer!

You could consider investing in a Wi-Fi booster These devices will pick up data packets from your kitchen, and re-transmit them (omni-directionally). Likewise, they will pick up data packets from your computer in the living room, and retransmit them. There's a small performance hit due to the retransmission. But you will have a stronger signal, which may make up for it. It's worth a try.
