Simply not true. If I have a problem, I would not even think to state 'Because I have a problem, it's confirmed we all have a problem!'.

Well this is good news then it mens there is a possible solution. I assumed everyone has it like this becasue I trried it on 3 sepearte setups, not within my home and 7 always all had these bad results!
Simply trying xp on the same setup worked fine, it seemend imposible for the culprit not to be 7. I think my assumption was reasnable because of so many repeat tests. Plus I said "I THINK"

I have no idea what you guys ahave different and i have tried everything with no luck ?

So this is definitely pining the wireless router?


All mine were tested on G. the signal has nothing to do with it btw.

So what settings,for your windows and wirelss drivers are you guys using?

I think the problem is windows is scanning wi-fi networks on the fly, it doesnt connect and lock on like XP does.

Some drivers default to aggressive channel scans. Lock your router and nic to the same address, usually 11.

Everything is good here.

baarod, i have set everything to full 54g, locked onto it. Nothing is set to auto or scan. Speed is full 54g max signal.

My wirelss laptop card is 4965AGN. Roaming agrresiveness etc have treid from low to high makes no diff.

Actually to all those not having problems, are you guys trying it on laptops?

I even installed

Home-WLAN Optimizer - Optimize wireless gaming, audio and video streaming...

with no help.

Just tried on my EeePC 1000HE. Clean pings.

It is just hard to see you having the same issue on 3 different machines on various networks as well. Do these machines all share something in common like a certain application (like a wireless utility) installed. Have you tried testing in safe mode?

No safe mode. I have tried on two different routers within my home, with 2 different installations of win 7 on different machines. I Then try do it running xp and its 1ms always.

I then went to my freinds house who also has win 7 on his HP laptop ( high specced new lappy) and he was getting 3, 4 ,5, 4, 3, 8, etc as well. He has nothing of mine, I dont touch his comps one bit. I dont know what else to tell you.

What do you mean its just hard to see... You think I am joking around?

This is a massive problem for me, it means I may have to go back to vista and I dont want to. It might even mean I have to skip 7 altogether, and who knows if the next version will be any better.
There's a lot doing down the drain if I cant fix this. but threes no way I will put up with above 1ms ping's.

Pampum, don't give up, Windows 7 networking is a known problem. I think they will fix most, if not all the mechanical problems (high latency compared to XP on some systems). Probably not the interface problems (confusing and with many screens), but there will eventually be a way to make this work.
