Well, I looked for a firmware update for my router.
Nope, nothing since the latest one, which was released April 7, 2005.
Also, while unrelated, this has REALLY been pissing me off.
My internet is working fine, nothing slow, no problems reaching websites, etc.
Except when I play either of the MMOs I've been playing. All day both Sword of the New World and Atlantica Online have been totally unplayable due to EXTREME lag. Not consistent shitty lag, but it seems like a couple packets make it through, and then nothing. Of course, that only seems to count for upload, since the enemies can attack and kill me just fine in Atlantica, and I can't even get to an area with enemies in SOTNW.
And I should point out this only began today.
This is really frustrating, and I'd like to figure out what the hell is happening. I've done a tracert for all the servers for SOTNW (including ones I never play on) and all of them fail to resolve after entering the K2 games network, and I can't find the IPs to tracert for Atlantica, but I assume it's more or less doing the same thing (the lag works the same way on both).
As I said, unrelated, but frustrating as fuck, since the games are on different networks, and they both seem equally fucked thanks to the lag, yet my normal internet works perfectly.
