Need Router Help

Post by Neptune-Sya »

OKay, I have a friend of mine who knows absolutley nothing when it comes to computers and networking, so I'm posting his problem for him.

He seems to be getting alot of warp while gaming.

He is using a router, and he suspects that it is the culprit because he previously had just regular cable braodband and never experienced any warp while gaming.

He uses a Lynksys router, with a Realtek NIC.

Could it be a driver issue? Perhaps he should d/l the latest drivers for his NIC?

Is it something else? Maybe the router is configured improperly?

Can someone help please?

Thanks.

Pick his router from Linksys' Download Page and download the firmware then follow the instructions to update it.
