awesomealvin: So do I use a Cat5 cable? What's the most reliable cable?


You mentioned that the distance to your router is only 4 metres.
This cable should do it then. :)

Okay, I might just buy one from Dicksmith. I don't really like buying stuff from the internet. Nor even ordering.
But first, I'll see if I have some cables in my house.
I remember ages ago, I used wire.

Oh, and this is weird!!! I don't seem to get lag spikes right now while playing, but the next day, I guaranty that it will lag again. This is like the 3rd time it has happened.

Fair enough. Although the same cable is twice the price at DSE.

I use Ascent.co.nz for pretty much everything computer related.
Fantastic service, and great prices.
