Where as what you say in a direct sence is correct, it is not fully correct.

When you set the priority level on a program, it sets that priority level for all actions of that program.

In simple, it will give all wants-internet included- at a higher level.

Now, that said, what is the speed of your wireless network?

Are you seeing the full possible speed???

How is your signal "Quality" as well as quanity??

Have you tried all 12 channels on your wireless band-some may be busier
and slower than others-only trying will tell you.

If your issue is signal strength/quality...there ARE some ways to help.
You can place your access point right up against the ceiling of the room it is in-really, this helps.

You can try adding "higher" gain attena's on your access point.

For more questions or help, you can u2u me more specific questions.

I have full signal strength, and my speed is good too, tested it at speedtest.net. I tried the priority idea, and it just slowed everything on my computer down (including the game lol).:bnghd: I think the easiest solution is to hardwire my internet, or learn to live with a little lag.

Hardwire it! I did my wiring under the house so its all hidden. I still have wifi for the ps3 and wii, but dont play them online. If FPS's are your thing, its all about your ping! Wifi is a no no!
