BF2S Forums 2142 Chatter

Guys - I have a dilemma
Here's the rundown:

I have a computer downstairs in the middle of my home - Next to it is a NETGEAR Wireless hub - connecting 4mb broadband through into the computer. This computer has 2142 on and is used by my brother and me.

Upstairs in my room, i have a brand new computer - awaiting to get 2142 on the 25th to install and play along side my brother (on the one downstairs) and you guys (by playing on my new one.)
This computer has a Wireless connection to the NETGEAR one next to the computer downstairs so therefore both can receive Internet.

Problem - When i am on upstairs (either on BF2 or just IE/Firefox), Downstairs (my brother on 2142) Gets VERY, repeated VERY jerky game. Not laggy, Jerky! Basically the "There is a problem with your connection type of jerky" but without the line " There is a problem blah blah blah.."

But if the computer downstairs is Off - And I'm on upstairs on BF2, i get "There is a problem with your connection" message and the major jerky issue. (obviously lasts for 10 seconds then goes back to game) but still unplayable.
And of course there is no way in hell that we can both play at the same time...

Does anyone have 2 computers linked via wireless router, Does anyone even use a wireless router?

Also, It is not the Speed being a problem- we have fast enough speed, it's just the Connection there is a problem with...

Help would be appreciated!

I dont have a wireless router, but a normal one. And I get the same "jerkiness" when someone on the other 3 PCs downloads something like torrents etc.
I know you said you dont do anything but there could be spyware or something else using the bandwith.
Try a program called TCPIP view.

No spyware - Do not worry.
Any other thoughts?

Wlan sucks for gaming. I have the same problem since two month in my parents house. I get those "There is a problem with your connection" messages every 5-15 seconds, without ping raise or wlan loss. I´ve tried firmware update, no sucess, even worse since then. Sorry man, cant help. Maybe post the same in the techsection

Seems that is te exact problem i have.. no ping raise whatsoever! But so much connection problems!

WHAT THE...?!? You guys spammed 4, I mean four pages in less than 5 hours? I'm not, I repeat, I'm not going to read all that chatting, and now, please go and burn If not, I'll hang you at the next available tree. Thanks for reading. Bye.

It's not spam, it's debate and serious talk.

Anyways I figured I need to say something before I go and sleep.

the first one yes (although I did not read the last pages)

The second one, why ironic?

But then again, he didn't have his part of spamming the 4 pages in less that 5 hours... I think he wants to catch up now when he cans.

I suggest you have a look at the Tech section, I am certain you'll find help there.

As far as I know, Wireless ain't so good for gaming purposes. Have you tried to use a cable to see if that fixes the problem ? Most wireless routers will also have standard LAN outputs. Also, it would be good to post Manufacturer and modell of your router.

Just to clarify, are both comuters linked to the router wirelessly or is the one with the router next to it conencted through ethernet?

Morning guys.

Managed a couple of rounds yesterday, 2 horrendous rounds of Minsk and 1 decent round of Cerbere Landing.

Is it just me or does Minsk seem like a map which was specifically designed for Titan mode and then someone made it conquest as well as an afterthought. It's probably just me.

Anyhoo, good games and it was good to finally get on TS talking to some of you lot. The bit that stuck in my mind most was Aardfrith saying, "DrFruitloop knows where we are!" just after he'd put a Clarke shell in my skull.

Hey!  You were on the other side listening to all our strategic chatter.  I just had to teach you a lesson :p

I was struggling to filter anything out of what was going on. I just saw loads of guys with orange shoulder pads and let go with the Shuko.

It seemed a little laggy for me last night, is that just normal with a 64 player map or was it due to some of the high pings?

It wasn't completely unbearable, just when it got to CQC if some guy ran past me I'd lost him and that was it.

I will listen this @ home tonight.

But why is everyone calling me Gillinator.
It's Gillenator. With an e.

I have 3, sometimes 4, PCs connected to the same, wirless internet... (I have a 6mb connection btw)

Firstly, is your brother's PC connected to the router with a cable or Wireless? How far away is your PC? What is the signal strength?
