As I suspect that you may have some issues with connectivity. If you look at my entry, you can see that I did (as I am at the beach and using the neighbors internet connection) The packets that did not make it end up returning the message "request timed out" If you have one or two of these we may have just found your issue, however it would do us some good to look further into it. You are going to tell the CMD to ping mulitple times. Enter the following: PING 192.168.x.x /n 50 Press Enter
This changes the number of packets sent off to 50. After the report comes back, you should have a LOT of data, and unless you know a good deal about computers or networking chances are you don't quite know what to do with it all. At this point I would maximize the CMD and get ready to dive in! (just a note, it does not get any wider, just much taller when you maximize it. Don't be alarmed, this is standard.) If you look at the list, you may see a good deal of dropped packets. This means that your computer is having difficulty connecting to your router. This would cause you to experience really bad lag, as the computer is having to send off the same data two or three times before the router receives it. Take a look at the ping statistics at the very bottom of the results It should look like the following example
As you can see, the router I am currently connected to isn't hearing my computer very well. I would susspect that your computer is having the same issue. For both your edification and the additional development of this troubleshooting session I am going to give you some standards to compare your results to. What you saw above (my example) is a BAD connection. If your report looks anything like that, then chances are that your issue is connectivity. A good connection typically has the following examples: Packets Sent: 50 Packets Received:47-50 Lost:0-3 <0%-6% loss> Minimum time: <1ms Maximum time: 3ms Average: This can vary depending, really good routers have an average of <1ms, but 3ms is alrightâ&#x20AC;Ś My average was appalling. If you have anything above 10ms I would be concerned.
