I got a new Linksys G Router yesterday and I played BF2 with the new G Router. I ended up getting more lag and high ping boosts more than ever on a East Coast EA server (I live in the East Coast). Also this lag doesn't happens on my old, now dead B Router, which only has the problem to disconnect often. Anyone can help me get rid of these WiFi lag sparks??? If no one can help me, this is the end of BF2 for me...
maybe the new router is letting things run in the background and connect to the net that your old one wasnt.
maybe do some serious spyware sweaping.

do you have all the proper ports opened on your router? and ditto what the_heart_attack said also
Did you turn off the firewall?
not sure if that would even be the prob but when I had cable internet, I had allot of issues come up because of this.

Everything is set in default and firewall is on, but my old router also has its firewall on. I don't have WEP enabled either... Let me do a spyware sweep and see how it goes...
I had to turn off my firewall big time with mine. not that you really need it if you have one on your pc and all the spyware and antivirus programs.
Anyway... good luck.

if you don't have WEP enabled, someone else might be leeching off your connection and slowing things down.
My neighbors all have routers, I don't think anyone needs mine bandwidth...PitViper401 wrote:

If you're using wireless in order to play BF2, one should always be aware of the possible dangers of using it. Wireless isn't 100% stable like your standard wired network. Connection is not guaranteed and wireless is usually trivial, as there's no absolute way to determine if you're getting the best performance possible from the device. My advice is to simply wire up the gaming system directly to the router. Even if you have to move cables around and such to hide it, it's usually better to have a guaranteed and consistant connection (where the connection problem can be narrowed down to only a few things after).
Most wireless routers have a default... I'm sure you know your way around it fairly enough to set up the basic security measures to lock down your wireless network. Second to check is your overall connection bandwidth. Check to see if you're getting the advertised speed (wired and wireless) or something close thereof. If the wired connection gave you the best performance while wireless is slower in whatever ways, then the wireless connection isn't very stable and you may need to tweak your network.
