    So, whenever I start up Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2, I seem to no be able to go on the internet for a bit after I start up the game. Even though windows says everything is perfectly fine and there's an internet connection, I can't seem to browse. Also, right after waking up from sleep, it takes my 5300 card around 2 minutes to finally let me go on the internet again even though it's reported as up and running much earlier than that. This has been happening for the whole time with my laptop, so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Though, the Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 problem has just come up recently...

    Is this a faulty card? Or could it be my router settings?

    Probably neither- try the most recent drivers and make sure that there's no power saving set for Wi-Fi card in Windows power settings (especially if you're running Win 7)
