    My home network is a wireless using WEP at 128 bit encryption. What advice can those of you who really know this topic on how to increase performance for online gaming? Would WPA make a difference or should I just plug directly into the router?

    Thanks

    WEP and WPA are just security messures. I don't think they should effect your gaming. However if you plug your laptop into the router you should notice an improvement. :)
