Hi all. Recently I built a computer, but the PCI slot was blocked by the video card unfortunately, since it was a micro ATX build. First I bought a Netgear wifi adapter: (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-ac1200-wireless-ac-high-gain-wi-fi-usb-3-0-adapter-black/8860004.p?id=1219375117547&skuId=8860004) It worked pretty well, for a while. I was able to enjoy playing Counter Strike with no lag. But recently I started to get lag spikes randomly, where the ping would just go up and down constantly.
I thought it was because it was old, so I decided to stop using it and move my rig to where the router is. The problem is, the place where my router is located at is not a comfortable spot to fit my rig.
So I was told from my friend to get a wifi extender, and plug the ethernet cable from that to my rig. I just got it today, so I decided to try it out. It worked pretty good until I started playing Counter Strike. It was even worse than the time when I had a wifi adapter. The Ping would literally spike up, and I was not able to move in the game, and would drop back down slowly after like about 10 seconds.
After all of this, I decided to make an account here and to ask the tech pros for a solution to this. The PCI slot is blocked, and looks like Wifi Adapters and Wifi extender doesn't work.. Is there any other way I can game in my room without experiencing lag spikes?
I don't know if this may be the reason why but since I live in California, the place gets really hot, so maybe it is because it overheated?
