No spikes when hardwired, router in the other room due to ease of access. I could move it to the front room i suppose, but i hate running CAT6 cable, and don't understand why a 3 year old router would work better. Wondering if it is just some ports i don't have open for the game to access...

Ran a hardline to the router, gameplay is awesome with no lag spikes, shitty part is that the router is in my roommates room on the other side of the house. I would have though that with a 50 meg dl/5 meg ul i wouldnt have a problem. just tried to play again, Played through act 3 in nm on HC and was able to clear it but had about 10 spikes. if i was playing SC i dont think i would care. but the 5 seconds of "ohh my shit" scare me in HC

Would you run speedtest.net and pingtest.net and post results please?

Also, did you try running a hardline into the router?

I would post the results through urls, but i don't have permission to post them.
speedtest, is 39.54 down, 4.22 up, 15 second ping
pingtest is line quality A, MOS 4.39, 17ms ping, 4ms jitter

all on a wireless connection, the game plays very very well when i dont get a lag spike, but i get a lag spike about every 5 minutes for 5 to 10 seconds.

Selfless bump. Wondering if anyone has an answer. Would still continue to play, but I play HC and the prospect of consistent 5-10 second lag spikes isn't a fun one.

Just bought a new router for the household yesterday, Belkin N600. "Upgrading" from another older Belkin wireless router. The old router seemed to work well with the game, I wouldn't get lag spikes at all, and gameplay was smooth. This new router on the other hand is giving me lag spikes about every 5 minutes. I do not know if this is due to the router being dual band or if i don't have the right channels open.

I was wondering if anyone has run into this and has a solution. I would go back to the old one in a heartbeat if it weren't for my roommate needing the better range and speed of the new one.

Thanks
