Wireless + Gaming = Good?

^Thats why you have the wireless router next to your gaming pc/console so you can have that hard wired and the rest of the pcs in your house wireless.

 

i use a wireless router and i play cs online and other games fine...or u can always get those wireless routers meant for gaming...search on gamespots hardware section

 

Thanks all, but some of you don't get it... let me explain...

I currently have DSL, and I have a wireless router, and I have the DSL modem up in my room. The family computer downstairs has a Wireless NIC, and goes through my router, through the modem, and on to the net.

I know wireless 'in the house' works, because I tried it. Works great.

What I'm talking about is a wireless connection to a datacenter, or wherever the net is being broadcasted. I would think that you would get a good Wireless dish, and be able to get fast connections.

Problem is with cable/dsl, it's either too expensive, or isnt available in my area....

 

idk, my brother says his connection is better with wireless than without

 

I'm on wireless currently, and I have cable, and I get roughly 60% signal all the time, and I get a pign of around 40-50 when playing CS:S

I can surf the web perfectly, the only problem is I constantly have to tweak to get the best signal, but it redeems itself when I can take my computer over to my friends house and just hook up to his wifi.

 

Dwaylu, you don't get it.... Stop helping..

I'm talking about Wireless Internet, NOT 'Wireless off a router that you have cable on'

How can you noobs understand?? *sigh*

 

Hmm it would be alright, but expect you pings to be about 15ms higher.

 

my brother plays cs1.6 through our wireless and i do that sometimes with my lappy

its all good as long as the internet connection is good

 

I should be fine. The datacenter where they broadcast it is only like 25-50 miles away, being that they give you a good attanae, It should be all good.

Thanks to all, and to all a good night.

 

works fine with me...
my ISP just sucks lol

 

there might be some kind of test on the isp's website on what kind of connection you'd get but i dont know...

To me it sounds like a 50:50 chacce of getting a crap connection with lags and high pings or very nice one... and contracts and stuff like that means you wont be able to swtich that easy :-\

 

yeah, I'll just call the company to get info, and if tthey cant get me info, theyre asholes...

 

yep exactly cause if they want customers, they gotta have good service and if you cant even get good service to help you decide to go with them, ---- em cause they gotta atleast get you contracted before they can be ass holes

 

onli get wireless if u actually need it tho. if ur pc is right next to the connection then wireless is pointless. also if u do get wireless make sure that ur wireless router will work with ur isp configurations. (just phone them, and ask which one they recommend)

 

half noob^ I currently have Wireless in my house. I have my downstairs computer talk to my wireless router up here.

Your ISP shouldnt care ---- what Wireless component to use. Any router should work fine with your ISP. Anything they give you is totally overpriced...

And I AM NOT talking about wireless in your home on a DSL connection, I am talking about wirelessly connecting to a Datacenter...
