I run Teamspeak 3 and game at the same time. When I am at the desktop i have no troubles, but when i start FireFox, Chrome, or any mutliplayer game my internet connection slows down drastically and often drops. I have used two different wireless cards with same result. (EVGA PCE-N15, and Rosewill N900PCE). When I test it on Speedtest.net I should be getting 4mb/s up but I only get 2-2.5mb/s.

My wireless provider is Fairpoint Communications and my Router is a SmartRG SR350N

There can be anywhere from 0-10 devices connected at once. The lag/bottleneck only happens on my gaming rig.

[Edit] I have used this computer in another household with a buissness class router and it worked perfectly getting proper 30Mbs down and 15Mbps up, so it must be my wireless card(s) connection too the router.

Solution
there is nothing you can do with wireless.may clear if you check Task Manager when you play the games its not enough juice to run any other software at same time.only hard wire can help establish your goals.
