my issue can probably be compared to this one: http://teamfortress.tv/thread/8619/lag-spikes-when-somebody-else-is-using-the-wi-fi

Well how do i explain...
If its only me and a wired connecting on my wifi i dont lag. But as soon as my fx. sisters laptop connects to my wifi. My game starts laggin like crazy. its kinda hard to explain so ill leave you with a demo of my issue with a screenshot of net_graph 4.

The speedtest link is broken.

Does it happen with two wired connections?

Can you test it with a different router?

Are you a little bit impatient?

Well, you have to.

That´s gonna be a last resort sorry cause my last router failed me half a year ago.
btw:
I read somewhere that i could try to setup a QoS for my pc. Tho i just don't see that option when i log onto my router with 192.168.0.1 i could screenshot if anyone wants to take a look at it.

A workstation is on wired and my sisters laptop is on wireless. what i meant is that i only lag if an other wireless i think (802.11) connection is on my internet.
PS: anybody know how to setup a QoS with a NETGEAR CG3000 router? i dont see the option anywhere or am i missing something?

Is the workstation your PC or another one?
Are you on wired or wifi?
802.11 just means it's wifi. Is it a, b, g or n?

Wireless is generally unreliable. You simply can't expect wireless to function properly when constant stability is something you want.

It's not possible to move the router down to your pc?

I myself opted for drilling holes through the floor due to lack of working phone jack ;)

This has been happening to me too! How long has it been happening for you? What router do you have? I am on wireless and I seem to get the same exact lag when other people are using laptops over my router.

A few things I do to mitigate latency issues with my wireless:

1) Enable QoS
2) Forward ports for TF2 (if there's an option for it, be sure to set TF2's ports to "high" priority)
3) Use inSSIDer to make sure I'm not on a congested channel with all my neighbors

I find that if I'm suddenly getting terrible performance, it's because too many of the neighborhood routers have hopped into my channel. Changing it usually mitigates this, but this probably isn't viable if you live in a dense area (dorm/apartment).

You can also look into getting a dual band router/wireless card that both support the far less crowded 5GHz band. Beware that these have terrible range though.

I just did a clean wipe of the hard drive of the laptops that are used on my network, and I invested in a long ethernet cable, and all is working now.
