I'm curious to find some insight on a wifi issue im having. I have a WUSB600N and have been having issues with it. Basically, windows would scan for networks at times and cause any video i'm streaming to stutter for a second and then catch up. I've noticed that when I'm doing ping 192.168.1.1 -t and manually scan for networks, it spikes to 3000+ ms or times out.
Normal I think, I just have to try vista anti-lag or something like that to get it to not scan. However, on my XP laptop, if I do the same command and manually scan for a network, I don't get any timeouts. Also, if I do get a timeout, it doesn't wait 3 or 4 seconds to complete, it simply chugs along as if nothing happened.
I believe this behavior is why my one machine is sputtering. It seems like Windows will scan in the background for networks, but, depending on the wifi card i guess, it can either pause the connection for a few seconds or keep on going.
Can anyone explain this behavior and why it would be? Thanks.
