Dropping from network / immediate packet loss

My issue started on May 27th. I play online games and my computer plays them perfectly, its a iBuypower Valkyrie CZ-17 laptop, with an Intel Centrino N 2230 network card, and I am running Windows 8.1, I use the Wi-Fi connection in my house. I started to experience lag in games. I normally run at around 12-30 ms of lag. I began having upwards of 3k+ as well as frequent disconnections from the games and my home network. I have been trying different fixes that I know of: powercycling hardware, moving locations in the house, re-installing drivers, rolling back the network card driver, etc. nothing seems to work. I have two room mates and their rigs are completely fine, one of theirs is a Mac book and the other is a desktop with a hardline. Neither rig has any issues.

I even tried to use a hardline in my own computer, the strange thing was that my computer didn't even recognize that there was a hardline even after I completely disabled the Wi-Fi. I ran a pathping to one of the game servers and here are the results of that. There is immediate and continuing packet loss.

Thanks for joining the Wireless Networking community.

I would like to know what happens when you try to ping the router. I need to check if there is data loss between your computer and the router.

You may try the following commands

ping -n count IP address

ping -t IP address

Please share the results.

Allan.

Ping reply for command: ping -n count IP address resulted in the prompt saying -n was a "bad value for option -n, valid range is from 1 to 4294967295"

Ping reply for command: ping -t IP address

First results are the default gateway.

Second are the preferred.

I am having this *precise* problem, Ender - and no help in sight it seems. Same results as you, but with my machine's ID info.

Why must this be so difficult??

Hi Guys,

Thank you for sharing all this information with us. There are some troubleshooting steps I would like you to do:

  1. How far are you from the router? How is the connection when standing next to the router? Is there a strong signal?
  2. Have you tried updating the router's firmware?
  3. Are there other wireless/Bluetooth devices between the router and your computer? Can you try as troubleshooting steps, turning them off?
  4. Change your encryption settings on the router.

Here you have a link that contains important information about that.
