NEED HELP WITH NEW LAPTOP AND ROUTER!!!

[ILLUSN]

G'day all, finally got my new PC toshiba M300/300 with 4Gb ram and a wireless router for my super fast cable connection (this thing downloads at over 2MB/sec i download movies way fatser then i can watch them).

Problem: my world of warcraft experience is MISERABLE!!!! i've got latency so high my instant cast spells have a 4 sec cast time and in PVPing I'm dead before i even see the guy smashing me.

Any ideas? router is a D link it has a firewall, my windows vista has a fire wall, i use a blue tooth mouse (which might interfear with wireless connection).

any help much appreciated.

Tip 1:

Get rid of the wireless. I used to play online and found that as soon as I got a cable connection to the router, latencies were ridiculously better.

The reason for this is for the upload speeds. You are experiencing really good downloads (well, there are better, but they are good) when downloading files, although when the transfer of data is back and forth, thats when you lose out. Wireless systems are always inferior to cabled systems, as you can imagine when the system is firing data off around the room, hoping that it reaches the destination.

Tip 2:

Stop playing WoW.

Haha, you'll be surprised how much more free time you have

Tip 1
Throw out the PC .....stop playing games and get a MAC
