Default Login Server, Wireless

I am having trouble connecting to the login server through my wireness connection. I get the connecting to server for 20-30 seconds then a message telling me to check my internet connection. It is fine.

I can connect if I turn off my wireless and connect through a normal connection so it is not a problem with the game or the server and I don't have a firewall or anything like that.

I dont want to have to turn off my wireless and plug in the normal wire everytime I want to play EQ. Anyone know what could be causing the problem?

If you actually read about wireless internet it states it shouldn't be used for online gaming. This is the main reason I don't have a wireless network and just ran wires.


There is a delay in the communication which is causing the time out, a lot of games have added support for wireless connections, but even EQ live will disconnect some people.

Hmm. Ok then. Damn, eq in bed was sounding damn good. Guess I will have to sit at my desk. Thanks for the reply though. I guess EQ is just too old for much wireless support. Do you if using normal wire to connect to login then using wireless afterwards would work? or would I just get disconnected?

Switching wouldnt work either because of your laptop changing connections. You will be disconnected from the server, needing to log all the way back out then back in only to get the same problems.

I have a wireless router. I will just buy a very long wire. That should fix it

You mean hub, a router is much more expensive. I don't suggest a hub ever. To many collisions. It slows the data stream to a crawl too.
