Sending pages has some delay built into the system anyway. It is impossible for the hub to deliver messages instantly based on how it is constructed. That it takes just a few seconds is actually good behavior.
Lag in a game could be caused by all sorts of things though, most commonly an underpowered system or low memory, or a host with lots of players connected. Using a wireless router may also slow the connection slightly (though not by a heck of a lot) because you have to account for the transmission and encryption delay between your computer and the router. (If it isn't encrypted, it should be.) Without knowing more of your system specs or knowing which games you're trying to join, it's impossible to say for sure. Actually hosting a game on a wireless router will probably slow things down a little though. My (limited) understanding is that typical wireless connections have lower throughput than physical connections. You should still be able to host, but I wouldn't rule out lag and I think you'd probably be limited to a lower number of connected players before performance started to drop off. Lummox JR | |
Well everyone that joins gets about a 3 second .ping, even when there's just 2 people on (Me and the host.)
And when i try to join a game, no matter what game, or how many people, still, at least a 3 second ping. | |
What exactly do you mean by 'a 3 second lag', lag between what?
