new wireless network is choppy help please [wireless usb adapters] [cable modem]

Q: I just installed a wireless network in my house using SMC Wireless USB adapters and a smc wireless router. My headline is from a cable modem. Most of the time, the network is great, but every few minutes has been choppy. I didnt notice until I tried to do some online gaming. when the cuts are just for a second or two, but is rather annoying during an online game. Ive never had this problem when I had just hardwired. is there anyway to correct this?
Best Answer: you should get my laptop it only costed me 500.00 and it comes with everything heres a website where you can check it out hopefully it works :D well i bought it in bestbuy but it doesnt show up online but heres one that walmart has and its the same kind ive had it for about a year now

Re:is there any way to tweak the wireless adapters?
Re:they're connected to usb 2.0 ports on 2 desktops and a laptop. all the comps are sufficiently powerful to deal with. i never had this prob when i had the network hardwired
Re:My neighbors have a linksys BEFSR11S4 router with two wireless desktop machines (one using a MS wireless usb client and the other using a Linksys wireless usb client). They have never complained of choppiness. Not sure what you mean here.

i didnt notice it until i tried to do some online gaming. when it cuts out, its only for a second or two, but is pretty annoying during an online game

I do not believe the above should happen but I am not completely sure. What type of computers are these adapters attached to? Do they have usb 2.0 ports? We need JackMDS in on this one :) :D
Re:I have a wireless network. 2 desktops, 1 server, and 2 Laptops. I will never put desktops or server on wireless. Only laptops for that reason.
Re:im a little mad about this whole wireless thing. i updated the firmware, and tried to update the drivers on my wireless adapters, but when i update the wireless adapters, i lose my network connection. this sucks. i think im just going to get the house wired
Re:Choppy as in high-latency i'm assuming?

#1 Welcome to the world of wireless networks
#2 Try repositioning the cable modem to accomodate a better line of sight with the clients
#3 make sure firmware is up to date on the SMC Router
#4 suffer! i have the same problems with wireless :P

Excerpt: The AfterBurner is a lighting solution for the Game Boy Advance system that was created by Triton-Labs. Originally, portablemonopoly.net was a website created to petition Nintendo to put some kind of light in their Game Boy Advance system. The system's screen was almost impossible to see except in direct bright lighting situations. As the site grew, the creator started tinkering with his own solutions and eventually created a $30 kit that could be installed by the user or professionally. Installation of the Afterburner involved opening up the Game Boy Advance to a front light (the physical Afterburner) that is slightly larger than the screen itself. The process also required soldering, and some users add a toggle or dimmer switch. Because the Afterburner relied on the system itself for power, battery life was drained considerably if the light was left on at full capacity. Also, due to the nature of the front lighting technology, colors could be slightly washed out. However, the Afterburner generally provided a much better light than any external solution. GBAs with an Afterburner installed were even used at official presentations such as E3 by third party publishers because they were cheaper than the official solution of hard wiring the GBA to a television monitor. Nintendo would go on to create a lighted version of the Game Boy Advance called the Game Boy Advance SP that used much of the same technology as the Afterburner.
