Hi guys,
I currently have a Belkin wireless ADSL router. Most of the time it's fine, but the problem is when I come to playing online games - mainly Steam.
When I say for e.g. load up steam and refresh the servers it gives me a list of nice low latency servers - however, when I try to join the server, the box pops up with the server details and the latency jumps for e.g. from 23 to 1016 then 2000. Sometimes it just won't join - after a minute it might join although showing high latency, but when in game it goes back to normal (23).
This seems to be happening more regularly!
I've also noticed that when I am getting this high latency, I minimise counter-strike, I can't connect to the net although my router says I am connected - I have to wait 5, sometimes up to 10 minutes to resume my net connection.
I think I am some how maxing something out.
I then tried using All-Seeing Eye and used lots of filters, but even refreshing around 1000 servers I was getting the same problem.
I then thought maybe I don't have the right ports open, but I'm sure I have!
Does anyone know what is happening and how to get around it? Frustrating to say the least!
Thanks folks!
