I've recently moved into a new house where the internet was already set-up before I arrived. We have comcast cable with a Belkin F6D4230-4 v2 (01) wireless router, and I have a USB wireless G/N 150mbps receiver (Not sure of the brand, bought it hastily at best buy when I moved in and had no internet). This is my first experience with wireless and it's been absolutely terrible; I frequently game and most of the time find myself with packet loss and high latency, buffering divx will slow to a crawl, and even just general internet surfing can become a huge pain in the ass every so often.
My questions: Is this to be expected with wireless? Should I upgrade my wireless receiver/router/both? Can I ever expect good, constant internet speeds with a wireless setup or should I just try to find some way to use wired?
Possibly useful information: I have three other roommates that connect to the router who may occasionally use torrents and I'm probably about 10 feet or less away from the router with two walls separating it from my computer. Thanks for any help you give.
