It seems like you're experiencing lag issues on your computer when connected to the wireless internet at your school, particularly after installing a Linksys WMP600 Wireless-N PCI adapter. The issues include lag in your music, mouse cursor movement, and overall PC performance. Disabling the wireless connection resolves the lag problems, and your computer functions perfectly when using a wired connection at home. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the lag issues you're facing: 1. Check Wireless Signal Strength: - Ensure that the wireless signal strength is optimal where you are connecting. Poor signal strength can lead to performance issues. 2. Update Wireless Adapter Drivers: - Update the drivers for your Linksys WMP600 Wireless-N PCI adapter. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility and performance issues. 3. Check for Interference: - Other electronic devices or equipment may cause interference with your wireless connection. Keep your computer away from potential sources of interference. 4. Change Wireless Channels: - Switch the wireless channel on your router to see if a different channel reduces interference and improves performance. 5. Check for Firmware Updates: - Ensure that your router has the latest firmware installed. Updated firmware can address compatibility issues and improve performance. 6. Disable Power-Saving Settings: - Some wireless adapters have power-saving features that can cause performance issues. Disable these settings if applicable. 7. Try a USB Wireless Adapter: - If possible, try using a USB wireless adapter instead of the PCI adapter to see if the issue persists. 8. Inspect Network Configuration: - Check your network settings and ensure that they are correctly configured for your school's network. 9. Check for Background Processes: - Check for any background processes or software consuming excessive resources that could be causing the lag. 10. Upgrade Router: - If your school's router is outdated, consider upgrading it to a newer model with better wireless performance. Try these steps to see if they help alleviate the lag issues you're experiencing.
