playing games on wireless

My brother and i tried FarCry over wireless, my computer and the router were both at 108mbps but his computer was only at 54 so it wasnt very good... very 'jumpy'
 
i play games on wireless all the time. since i moved house about 6 months ago now :O i have had to stay on wireless as the phone sockets upstairs dont work atm.

its not bad as long as you have a good signal, your drivers are up-to-date etc...
 
when you play multilayer over the internet you are only playing it at your normal internet speed (eg 2megabits per second) 54mbps is considerably more than this and so if you are playing over the internet it wont make much difference at all as the bottleneck is your internet speed.

If your playing over a lan, you will be playing at 54mbps, which is much higher than your internet speed and should be much better.

Wired: 100mbps
normal wireless g: 54mbps


The only downfall with wireless, is the reliability of the connection. if the computers that are using wireless are far apart then packets can be dropped and the connection qualaty is not so great. If they are close and there is no interference then you will be fine.
 
dropkickmurphy what data rate is youe wireless 108g 108mbs ?

lyes internet games, local games will not play well over 54g that is only 54mbs, half of the bandwidth is used for communication, the rest is for data
..tell me if i am wrong
 
not only that it depends on the speed of the internet too if hes only got 5 Mb connection it still wont be as faster connection than the router, correct me if im wrong
