Without a doubt, I hate my wireless adapter. Beyond all belief I hate this thing. I'd love to be hardwired in, but instead my mom's a bitch about it and we can't move the router to my room because it's derp.
So here's the problem. Because I can't be hard wired in I have this wireless thingy. Functions fine most of the time, normal internet isn't really a problem. Downloading and gaming, on the other hand, are apparently quite an issue. I'll be coasting along at a nice 70ish lat, when suddenly, a wild 5000 appeared and ****ed you up for a few seconds! This in and of itself might not be much of a problem, but it also intermittently dcs me for about 30s, and sometimes it dcs me entirely and i have to wait like 5 mins for it to reconnect. As far as downloading is concerned I should be getting around 2-4 mbps. With this wireless it randomly plummets to approx 64bps. That's right. Bps. When it isn't being completely cruel but still doesn't want me to have my normal internet I'll float around 500kbps.
Nobody else in the house has these issues, one other is using the same type of wireless adapter I am, but he's closer to the router, so maybe that helps. Two others are using laptops with no issues. I've installed all the drivers that came with it, and as far as I'm aware I have all my mobo drivers working just fine too. It's not sitting anywhere there should be interference.
Using a Netgear WNA3100 USB wireless adapter, will post any other stuff you need to know about my comp.
Edit: Also nobody is running torrents, etc, and more often than not i'm the only one using the internet at all.
