Router Wireless Slow Speed
Boggin:
I noticed that inSSIDer3 is showing your router to be broadcasting on channel 11.
The nearest one that could possibly cause you problems is Camera33 - what ever that one is.
I'd noticed in the wireless adapter Properties there was a 6 next to the Ad Hoc and 1 for your home router.
I haven't seen this before and was wondering if that value can be changed using the dropdown and if it can be compared to what inSSIDer3 says at the time.
Gaming lag can be caused by an incorrect MTU setting.
This tutorial will show you how to check if your 1460 setting is the correct one for you.
I'm not sure if you will be able to change that in the router if needed, but usually it's just a case of changing the value which may or not require the router to be rebooted to effect the change.

To prevent buffering in videos, it sometimes helps to click on the Tools cog in IE - Internet options and under the Advanced tab check the top box which is for Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering - Apply - OK then reboot the computer.

Yes,the value can be changed with the dropdown menu.And about MTU settings i tryed to adjust the way you suggested with dr TCP.Its value is 1492 for my cable connection but detects 3 wireless connections having no MTU settings.Added to the insult,i tryed playing an offline game on my PC,and i lagged having a latency of 1,000,000(rounded value,the value is actually heigher).We will talk about this in an other topic.
For now,i doubt changing the ad-hoc will do anything as it doesn't change the router channel.
Boggin:
OK.

Ok.I kinda figured out whats the problem.Beeing so many wireless routers on my storey mean that chanells will be shared regardless what i do,this will gonna affect my signal strength.
The device,with Wireless Zero Configuration will always gonna search for a better connection and i believe all the computers on this storey have this windows service started,this affecting the connectivity of the internet,determining drops and lagspikes.
Lastly my own speed is affected by all devices using the same wireless device,therefore,bandwith is shared between all the devices.
The only solution to get max speed connection is a cross-over cable to router and mainly thats it.No lags,delays,drops or anything else.I keep both cable and wireless connection active.Its annoying but i do this for comparasion.What i deducted from this:
Wireless has many drops.But as long as i have the cable plugged,it may drop but wont disconnect me :))
Wireless is meant for small home/office use,not for streaming/gaming/ or anything that implies continous connection.Don't buy cheap wireless or gonna end up lagging.Here is the router i have.Avoid buying routers with same specifications if you want no lags/drops while gaming/streaming:

Thanks for all your help.I leave topic 1 day or 2 to see any new replies.Ill close it afterwards.Having other pc problems ill be posting on soon.

You could go into services, right click on WZC, select Properties then use the dropdown to change it to Disabled to see if that improves your wireless connectivity.
Why do you need a crossover cable when a straight Ethernet cable will do to connect you to the router ?
As that router is still newish you could see about returning it for something else.
