Ok, long story short, my wireless network is shit for some reason.
I used to have a 802.11g adapter, and it would work fine.
Then I got a new router cause the old one died, which has 802.11n. So, naturally, wanting to improve my wireless speeds, I got an n adapter. Here's where it gets problematic. The n adapter does not work nearly as well as my old g one. So, I just said "whatever" and used the g one. BUT now I am using 64 bit windows 7 (and same thing with 64 bit windows vista) and the g adapter has no 64 bit drivers I can find. The n adapter works, but I get drop outs in some games and get a fairly constant 1/2% loss in others.
Heres a rough floorplan of the area between me and the router. Before we go on:
1. Router cant really be moved.
2. Would like the least likely to fuck up solution ()
So, looking at that floorplan, should I be having wireless issues? The brick walls are probably a couple of bricks thick.
And finally, should I bother getting a new adapter that has proper 64 bit drivers (if so, could you recommend some)? or should I do something more permanent/involved like running an ethernet cable through the roof? (would prefer not to do that, obviously).
Bf2s, halp.
