hi everyone,

i have a bit of a problem. I have had a Linksys Wireless G router ( http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Linksys-Wireless-G-WRT54GL-Broadband-Router/2630426/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&kw=%7Bkeyword%7D&adtype=pla

for as long as i can remember. I connect it to my desktop wirelessly since it is in another room. Even though it is old, wow ran very smoothly. Recently i switched my router to this ( http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRT160N-Wireless-N-Broadband-Router/dp/B000Z3U1P6 ), and now my wow lags like hell. I don't get why, becuase it is much newer and faster.
Is there something wrong with the compatiblity?

thank you

Is your card Wireless-N compatible? While that router works with Wireless-G cards, it was designed and optimised for Wireless-N. That's the best suggestion I can give you based on the limited details.
