Weird packet loss on new wireless network setup.

[imported_Rad]

I just bought a new wireless card for my desktop and a new router due to packet loss and with the new hardware these were the results i got. I have an improved signal strength compared to my old card/router, yet i still get packet loss. The laptop is also in the same room as the desktop and this packet loss is causing me lag in online games. I also tried my desktop at a friend's house (he owns the same router), and I got the same results. THe problems went away after i hard wired into his router. Any ideas?

Hardware I'm using now:
MSI PC60G
Linksys WRT54GL

That's wireless for you. Change channels to 1, 6, 11.

Also, for a better test ping your router's interface to keep it local to your LAN. Many websites don't like you pinging them and will drop your requests and you also can't control what happens on the internet.

If the problems truly went away when you switched to wired, then you have an interference problem and changing channels is the only thing you can do. If it still happens, nothing you can do about it short of changing your antenna setup.
