My network has lag spikes lasting for a few seconds every 7.5 mins. The spikes also effect any other computer connected connected to my wirless router at the time. My wife has to connect her laptop via a cable to prevent the lag causing problems when she's VPNing into her work.
If I switch my PC off the problem goes away!
I've got an Edimax 7728ln 802.11n wireless card and Speedtouch 585v7 (I'm with Be)
I've Tried...
Updated the drivers from Edimax website: 2.0.3.0 (it does say 3.0.2.0 in devices properties though)
WLAN Optimizer doesn't seem to be helping
What can I do?
