Hi,
My computer lags on my wifi but runs fine on others, if I want to play a game I have to turn off my wifi to keep it from running at about 5fps. Here are my specs,

Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor 2.4GHz
• Microsoft Windows 8
• 8GB DDR3L-1600 RAM
• 1TB 5,400RPM Hard Drive
• DVD SuperMulti Drive
• Memory Card Reader
• 10/100/1000 Network
• 802.11b/g/n Wireless
• 15.6" Widescreen TruBrite LED-backlit Display

I can't watch youtube, play flash games, or play online whatsoever and it's kind of irritating. I realized it was just my wifi when I went up to Microcenter's tech support and it had run perfectly, but when I got home it started lagging like crazy.

I am not sure what's causing this so please help.

Your internet service provider is either garbage, or your router sucks. it is not a problem with your computer. try resetting your router, or buy a newer wireless router to use as a second access point from the router provided by your provider

I have tried resetting my router and Ethernet both haven't showed any increase in performance, I will try a new wireless router tomorrow.

Thank you
