… and when you repeat the test in the morning you’re getting
something like this …

… it means that the bottleneck is your Internet connection, and
not your local wireless network. Contact your Internet service
provider to troubleshoot the issue.
2. If the problems occur all the time, and your Internet
connection speed is fast for computers and other devices
connected directly to the wireless router, the problem can
indeed be related to the iStream HD adapter and its connection
speed to the wireless network. A good way to test this is to first
measure your Internet speed with a computer that is connected
to the router. Then connect the computer to the LAN port of the
iStream adapter and repeat the test. It would be normal that
the results are not quite as high, but if you experience a
significant decrease, then the wireless connection between the
iStream adapter and your wireless network is not optimal. Try
re-locating or re-positioning the iStream HD.
3. Someone may be freeloading. Ensure that your connection is
secure. You may be unknowingly sharing your connection with
others nearby if using an unsecured wireless network setup.
I experience more lag when
playing online games
compared to before, when
my gaming console was
connected with a network
cable.
It is not out of the ordinary for ping times to increase ever so
slightly when you switch from a wired to a wireless connection.
The effects become more pronounced if the wireless connection
is poor. Typically, though, online gaming will not be affected in
a negative way. If you require best possible ping times and
lowest possible lag without any compromises, then a wireless
connection for your gaming console may not be the right choice
for you. A 500 Mbps Powerline AV starter kit may serve you
better in this case.
I am setting up my gaming
console for wireless access,
but it does not work. I
cannot connect to the
network.
You need to set up your gaming console for regular Ethernet
cable-based access, not wireless. iStream HD is a wireless
device; however, as far as your gaming console is concerned, it
is connected with a regular network cable. iStream is
“transparent” in the network and your gaming console does not
even know it is there.
How can I use the iStream
with my Nintendo Wii? You need to connect a Wii LAN adapter to your Wii in order to
connect the iStream adapter. See Addendum.
