extreme lag

used to have no trouble running 2 machines on the same connection. modem then went south so bought a netgear DG834 after recommendation. now i can just about run one machine with some lag but 2 is unplayable. been on with ISP and cant find any faults at that end. any recommendations?

tried other online mmos and they work fine. if just using on pc then problems start with lots of people around or enter into a team as well as when both accounts are running.

I run three sometimes, however I have an update-to-date computer, that can handle it. Only ever occurence I have lag is the odd massive style map for example the "300" set valley in 'Imperious-Task-Force".

However, in areas of concentrated players you will experience lag, that's just a definite, especially if you have both your characters in that area. Notably, the only area I lag when I have three logged on, is the busy 'Mission Architect' centres.

Tips I'd advise, since its clearly just in-game experience your suffering from are :
Log your characters in a quiet place.
Keep all toggles off until you are inside a mission.
And try not to be too dynamic when playing in zones, missions are fine in my opinion.

problem is its only just started. not been having a problem for nearly 3 years. possibly a modem issue im looking into at the moment

Another thing If I may ask, doesn't netgear act weird when you try to load two online-programs? It might be something to do with how it focuses on your programs, I mean by that, that your connection may only transfer through the program you are operating on, and background program systems are "ignored".

I only have a brief understanding of computers/networks, sorry if it's no help. It seems since everything has been fine until you got the new equipment, so I'd look there.

possibly, managed to run guild wars without a problem but heroes still has trouble on its own
