Which type of network connection do you primarily use?

[PVTCaboose1337]

Wired. (add a poll)

[tigger69]

Wired here,through a dlink wireless router.

[Namslas90]

Both, but no more than 2 computers per ISP.

2 ISP's gives me four computers onlone and One thats never online.

:toast:

[craigwhiteside]

i use wireless :cool:

Edit: you should say network connection rather than internet connection, people might get a bit confused

LAN (Wired, Wireless), Internet (Cable, Dial-up, Satellite, dsl, etc)

[tigger69]

I have tried gaming through my wireless connection,(wifi on router to onboard wifi),but its poo.The ping is always too high.

[Hawk1]

Both. Wired for my main rig, and wireless (linksys) for laptop, but voted wired, as that is what I mostly use.

[Grings]

3 Wired, 1 wireless (in my bedroom), i've only got crappy 54mb wireless though, i wouldnt want to even try gaming on it

[Chewy]

I use wired, but I wonder about that new wireless N technology... to much for me to bother testing though lol.

[AsRock]

Much more secure less other hassles. Better connection and more reliable.

[AphexDreamer]

Dang it, I thought this was for if you use wireless keyboard and mouse.

I went a head and clicked wireless and then by the time I read internet it was to late to cachange my answer.:banghead:

[craigwhiteside]

LOL O.o, did the word Network give a clue lol

[panchoman]

err craig, whats up with this thread, sometimes not right right. the 3rd choice didn't show up and some other weird stuff and you didn't edit it :'(

[craigwhiteside]

ya, i need to talk to wiz about that, i cant edit the poll's :(

[panchoman]

ahh that bull, oh well, can you atleast edit the thread title?

[JacKz5o]

Wireless because I have no choice since theres no phone line in my room for my DSL. I could drag a 50ft Ethernet cable across the house but meh.. My internet is pretty reliable though, rarely times out but does stutter for a second every few minutes while gaming :\

[craigwhiteside]

ya, what you want it to be called?

Wired and Wireless.

I have 2 networks here.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

Wired and wireless thru my wrt54gl w/ddwrt. server with whs and pc and a el cheepo laptop for school purposes

[pt]

wireless using a linksys WRT150N :)

[craigwhiteside]

nice structure :), nice to see people keep there networks clean and organized :D

[Triprift]

Wireless using a Dynalink rta1046vw

[btarunr]

My network is like this.

There's a ADSL internet line with 4096 kbps down, 512 kbps up. This is connected to an Alley Cats 2144G gigabit ethernet switch to which, this PC + the gaming rig + occasionally the notebook plug in. The router has some basic hardware-level firewall, the systems use ZoneAlarm Pro.

[craigwhiteside]

ey urlyin can you edit the poll name so it doesnt have the period in it, i dont have the option to edit poll's

[Mussels]

i use both... ADSL -> router - gigabit and wireless. physically close PC's are on giga, the one in my room and the girls room on wireless.

[snuif09]

I have tried gaming through my wireless connection,(wifi on router to onboard wifi),but its poo.The ping is always too high.

Jep true thats why i demolishd my dads wireless router and said "it was an accident;)"
and goed back to wired

[craigwhiteside]

lol i havnt had any trouble with my wireless :D

[JrRacinFan]

Definitely wired, current DSL modem does not work with the router I have.

[DR.Death]

wired ftw would not have it anny other way for my desktop

[craigwhiteside]

i use wired for my downstairs, but wireless for my gaming pc and the ps3 :)

[Darknova]

Both.

We have the main router, and a switch in the office. Then off that are 2 routers, one in the garage to all our servers, and one in my room to my server currently being built and setup, my PC, and my wireless access point.

I use the wireless for our laptops, my PDA, PSP as well as a backup for my main PC.

My PC is wired and so is the server.

[craigwhiteside]

its best to keep a server hardwired to the net, stops any timing out or stupid loss of connection :(, btw you using 1000base-t for the server right?

[Darknova]

It's a home server. Nothing more. Doesn't need any type of net connection. It's just for file sharing, backups, and my own experience.

[craigwhiteside]

net as in network connection lol xD, 1000base-t is a gigabit network connection :p

[Darknova]

I assumed you meant both heh.

No, it's 100base. Don't have a gigabit router.

[Mussels]

i'm on 55Mb and have no issues gaming - my ping is 5ms higher than wired, thats all.

i guess it depends on signal strength and the wireless router itself.

[craigwhiteside]

for some people 5ms less ping is a god send xD

i can think of a couple of times i wish i had less ping in cs:s :)

[mrhuggles]

both, on a WRT54G v2.0 OpenWRT/X-WRT and dsl

wired for gaming tho for sure, big difference there

[niko084]

Wired only.... Unless I "NEED" wireless for a notebook... But I have run cable through the house mainly so pretty much no matter where I go to sit if not at my desk I can plug a computer right in.

[Pinchy]

I use wired for my main rig and family rig and wireless for the laptop (in the same room, just cbb having a cable across the room, or bothering to drill through the wall).

Anyway, whenever I am gaming, the wireless gets a better ping than my comp :p (Example; Both on the same server, wired gets 13ms, wireless gets 9ms).

Just standard 54mb wireless too.

[theonetruewill]

All wireless, and I have these on all the antennas in the house to enhance throughput a bit.
Occasionally I get stuttering in online games, but it is only occasionally. As it's normally BF2142...... I can't really say it's all my wireless' fault :p
