ok i am having trouble with my wireless signal, it keeps dropping really low to where games lag a lot. my router is Linksys Wireless-N Home Router WRT120N, my basic wireless settings are
Network Mode-Mixed
Name-linksys
Channel Width-20mhz only
Standard Channel-11-2.462ghz
SSID Broadcast-Enabled
I also have WEP security (i use it cus its compatible with my ds and is better than no protection) and am using a linksys usb wifi receiver stick. any help is greatly appreciated.

Well I can't really recommend playing games over wireless, because it just isn't stable.
Wireless internet signals are susceptible to other signals flying around so your best bet is to turn off other devices that can cause signal degredation (like TVs, radios, phones, microwaves, or any wireless device) and see if the signal strength improves.
If not then there might be outside interferance from a neighbor or something.
Try and see how strong the signal is if you move your PC closer to the router.
If the strength improves then signal degredation from interferance is definately your problem.

Well if you can't move the computer closer and have turned off all the things that might be causing interferance then the only other thing that I could suggest is to somehow boost the signal strength.

Things to do to try and boost signal strength:
Make sure PC is in line of sight of router.
Remove any reflective surface (metal, mirrors, windows, glass) that might be in between the router and the PC.
Get a USB antenna for your PC (I'm assuming you are using a USB dongle, the thing that looks like a flash drive, rather then the thing that looks like a stick antenna).

Ok i find a trial of a wifi monitor thing called wirelessmon and saw that another AP was using the same channel i was, so i changed the channel and so far my connection is great. I can only hope it stays that way, thank you for your help.
