Author Topic: Possible to fix wireless polling lag on Windows 7?  (Read 1389 times)

This has been driving me almost insane since I moved into this new house.
I'm not able to have an Ethernet cord going into my room, so I'm forced to use wireless.
For some reason, Windows 7 decides to scan for wireless networks, even after I've already connected to one.
Now, the lag isn't too unbearable for games like TF2 or GMod, but for Blockland, it's terrible. The lag can last as long as 15 seconds. It apparantly has something to do with WLAN Autoconfig, but disabling it does nothing but completely turn off the wireless card. I've tried programs like Vista Anti-Lag, but again, does nothing. I even have the wireless card set to not look for any better preferred wireless networks, yet it continues to do so.
Is there any way to fix this at all?!

Wireless card: Linksys WMP54G
OS: Windows 7

tl;dr: Just close out of this topic. You're probably no help to me anyway if you can't bother to read the whole thing.

THIS, goes in "help"

So it scans on TF2 and Gmod too, but you only really notice it on Blockland?

Obviously not if you can't even spell "goes" right. This is for more than just BL.

Yeah. It's most noticable on Blockland, but it's noticable on TF2 and GMod and other source games.
