    Hi.

    I have this problem.
    My wireless internet (broadcom 802.11) often stops a while like 3~50 seconds while I am playing online game and it drives me crazy. it does not disconnect me though, it stops a few sec -> happens something going on in game really fast -> dead -> working fine like this pattern..

    Internet speed is fine and it works good ,doing other stuff (downloading, internet surfing etc) but when it comes to game, I dont know whyy. I turn the game in window mode so that I can see if the internet is working and found out it often just stops downloading.


    Anyone can please help me??


    thanks in advance

    Which game are you playing when this happens?

    It very well could, since different games (presumably) use the internet in different ways and put different strains on available resources.
