Internet problems

[HowlingStein]

I'm new to pcs. I'm currently using my home wifi wirelessly to my PC and its garbage, lots of lag and high ping. I have heard about gaming routers and thought about trying one. Do I get a gaming router or by a router that connects to the main wifi and just stretches the signal length or neither.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the main wifi moderm is far away from the pc

if lag is an issue for your gaming experience: use cable. it's cheap and reliable.

1. What is the make and model of wireless router that you're using now?
2. What is the make and model of the wireless adapter on the PC?
3. How many walls/floors are between the PC and the wireless router? How far are you talking about?
4. Are there any other devices connecting to the wireless router?
5. Install and run WiFi Analyzer from your PC. Post screenshots of the 'Networks' (please hide MAC addresses) and 'Analyze' pages (for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz; highlight your SSID).
