Weird WiFi issue

[Ripstorm]

Hey all,

Maybe one of you can help me.

I recently bought a TP-Link W8960N.
I have two PC's connected to the router via Wi-Fi (both in the same room)
The Wi-Fi works great until both PC's use the Wi-Fi at the same time.

Take last night as an example. I was playing a game online. I had no issues until my fiance started browsing. I completely lagged out of my game. I did a ping test directly to the router (192.168.1.1) and it showed constant ping timeouts and lag spikes (up to 900ms)

Like I said, I have no issues when I'm the only person using the wifi (get a constant 1ms or 2ms ping to the router with no timeouts)

Do you guys have any idea why this is happening?

(btw, already upgraded the router firmware, changed channel width to 20mhz, changed the wifi channel and made sure that there are no other wifi signals on the same channel)

Thanks!

Sounds like a wireless ghosting issue. You need to call Doctor Professor Zambazi and arrange for an exorcism.

Are you using DHCP or static address?

Think I fixed the issue.

Changed the wireless mode from b/g/n to N only. Haven't seen an issue yet.
