The lag...

Yesterday I had about six or seven people mention / complain about my lag. Ever since we bought a new modem with four times the memory we had before, everyone's internet except mine has been crap.

Now what I don't know is whether this lag is being caused by my computer of my distance from the modem or the modem itself. Everyone else's computer has Windows 7 or higher and I suppose not older than two and a half years. My own computer runs on Windows XP and is about five years old. My sister's computer is a laptop about the same distance from our modem, is new and has perfect connection (so she says).

Finally, people are almost always 'R' to me and I have cause people to disconnect themselves during PvP because I don't die on their screen, thus the game doesn't end. I also experience massive lag on Meteor Landing which causes me to face unnecessary difficulty.

tl;dr - Is my insane lag being caused by my computer, modem or distance from the modem?

could be distance from modem. Uhm, if ur computer is bad then I guess the wifi chip is bad on it too. Your modem should be fine though lmao. Just connect an ethernet cable to your desktop, you'll be fine.

Yea I forgot to mention that I have a desktop.

Then you're lagging like **** and your modem is bad. If you want look up tips on optimizing internet speed so you could get less lag.

Yeah it's your new internet at fault.

xbaras

Then how come my sister's works perfectly?

hawk5005

"So she says". Have you actually seen her perfect connection?

xbaras

No, but her computer is brand new, mine is 5 years old. Plus, as some dude said it could be my old wifi chip.

Then it might be your new internet connection as you don't know if your sister's connection is actually perfect.
