Lately I've been experiencing network instability which is most noticeable when gaming online with my laptop - frequent freezes, lag warping/rubberbanding, and occasionally completely drops the connection to the remote server. I've bypassed the router and plugged directly into the cable modem, but it still happens; same thing if I go wireless. A line quality test by my cable provider reveals nothing out of the ordinary. My ping as repoted by the game is acceptable, <50. Other players in the game report no lag.
Before I do the five-disc install of the game on one of my other computers to see if I get the same results, I'd like to test the network card in my laptop, which is at the age where things start to randomly fail. How do I isolate and monitor its performance to see if the thing needs to be replaced? Is that possible? Is that necessary?
