About 6 months ago I moved from home for some college classes elsewhere, back then I was using a Microsoft 510 Wireless B USB adaptor. I had roughly a 100 or less ping, and a 120 KBS download rate for most websites.

I am now moved back home using the same network, the same wireless B usb, and i am now getting a ping of 200-300 on average.

I have tried moving up to a Wireless G usb adaptor, same ping, and a Linksys PCI-G card, and the same thing still.

I have checked the microsoft base station, and everything is properly SET for a G system (YES, the base is G).

I cannot think of anything that would keep me from achieving a rate that i had LAST time.

We do have a Cable modem and the same one as last time.

Literally everything is the same. But The rate achieved is much much worse.

Any Ideas on how to fix this?There's nothing a USER can do about ping performance. It's just that the network (Outside of your control) has deteriorated or become over subscribed since you last used it.

Try a few traceroutes etc at different times of the day to see if a pattern emerges. Perhaps your ISP is unaware of a dodgy router somewhere. [highlight]PingPlotter[/highlight] is a useful tool and it provides pretty graphs.
