I have a Netgear WGR614v6 wirelss router and a linksys wirless ethernet gaming bridge. I have Open NAT, and most of the time I can play no prob, lag-free (I have 3mbs DSL) However, sometimes, the wireless network reception light on the gaming bridge will go off for seconds at a time, and at that point, the game always freezes then catches up when the light comes back on a few seconds later, which, needless to say, hurts the gaming experience. Range is not a problem, the two devices are practically in the same room.

 

I think this may have something to do with the broadcast settings, like packets or something. Some days, the light stays solid on, then its smooth sailing.

 

Any help ideas?

its probably just BECAUSE you are going through that gaming bridge that it is lagging and dropping. I've never really used a gaming bridge so I don't know how effective they are but my guess it that bridge is you problem. I would look into getting a mini switch.
