Well, it is definitely a problem with Windows 7 and the Linksys WMP54G wireless card's driver (and the Ralink drivers for that matter!). I finally got my MSI Turbo-G Wireless Adapter last weekend. Did a fresh install of Windows 7 with the adapter physically installed in the system. Once...

Okay, it's definitely Windows 7 and/or the WMP54G's driver that is the culprit of my problem (not the router). I put the MSI card back in my wife's system and took the Linksys card out and put it back in mine. At first she still had the ping spike issue with the MSI card back in her system. I...

I actually did try your suggestions and they didn't make any difference unfortunately. I appreciate your help though and the fact that something worked for you is encouraging to me anyway. Hopefully that means that I will get this sorted for myself by playing around with it a bit more. I'm...

While I won't claim to be 100% positive it's not the router, things are really pointing more towards the card or Windows. Folks on other forums believe it's the polling feature in Windows wireless management that is the culprit, but I have a feeling it's a combination of that and the wireless...

I feel your pain....I just tried swapping my wireless card as well....still have the problem with high ping spikes. Nobody has responded to the other threads I've posted in, so I'm thinking there isn't a working solution out there yet. :( Strangely, the MSI Turbo G wireless card seemed to...

Please see my post about this here: Link Removed Trust me, it will fix this problem. I had the exact same issue with my 3 PC's/1 laptop in my home...apparently Linksys' firmware can't handle all the connections. :rolleyes:

I've been doing a ton of research on this and you are correct, it's a Win 7 issue (also in Vista 64 and XP Pro 64, apparently). See my post here for some information: Link Removed We may have to purchase a different wireless card, but it's definitely a Windows "feature" that I feel is...

Just gonna copy/paste this from another thread I responded to.... Which wireless router are you using? I had this very same problem with my Linksys WRT54G wireless router, and I flashed an open-source firmware to it that got rid of the problem. Linksys' firmware is a bit flakey, so if you have...

Which wireless router are you using? I had this very same problem with my Linksys WRT54G wireless router, and I flashed an open-source firmware to it that got rid of the problem. Linksys' firmware is a bit flakey, so if you have one of their routers, I'd highly recommend flashing it with either...

Hey, folks! New member here....been using Windows 7 for a couple weeks now and have an issue with my wireless card I wanted to mention in this thread. I am using a Linksys WMP54G v4.1 wireless PCI card in my PC, and I'm having that same ping spike issue that has plagued certain cards with XP...
