I know this problem has been documented, but I'm not sure it has ever been extinguished.
My wireless card: Ralink rt2860 wireless LAN
OS: XP Service Pack 3
Using the RaConfig Utility Not using Microsoft Wireless Zero Configuration
When I am gaming, about every minute, like clockwork, I receive a very unwelcomed spike in my ping (from about 30ms to 1500ms).
Most people believe this occurs when the wireless card "looks" for other available networks. I am confident that the problem lies somewhere between my wireless card and its proprietary software, and the microsoft zero wireless configuration.
I have shut off the microsoft zero and the Windows auto update but the problem persists. Under my "wireless network connection 4 advanced" set to "access point (infastructure) networks only" and have the box unchecked for automatically connect to nonpreferred networks.
I'm sure there's some switch that would instantly take care of my problem, I just don't know where that switch is. For reference, to test if the problem is still present I ping www.google.com about 300 times. 299 pings are consistently under 40, 1 is always higher than 800. Driving me crazy.
Any help is appreciated.
What's the best wireless utility config to use with my ralink card?
