    Hi

    As the title explains I upgraded my old one because I was experiencing packet loss. This is verry anoying when gaming.

    Is there any other upgradable thing that can prevent packet loss? Could it be the antennas?

    Thx.

    No problems using a USB wifi stick from Dlink. SO I assume wired would work? I will test soon...
