Regarding lag...

Alright, so I tried Brawl with Anyone and got concerned with how few people I got connected with. From the looks of it, many people are having the same issue, so whether this is an issue on nintendo's side or everyones internet just fails is beyond me. Anyway, what concerned me was with a game I played with Buzz. I read that several people are experiencing abour .6 seconds of lag, which isn't too horrible. I however have been experiencing lag of anywhere from .6 to about 4 seconds at random which makes no sense to me. Consideirng I have even moved my Wii right beside my router. I am unsure if it is just because the server for Brawl may still be going through debugging or upgrading or adapting, or if it's an issue on my side as I am rather positive that Buzz had some lag but not to the extent I did (Ike + Laggy Opponent = Evil).

So, should I wait it out a few more days and see what transpires or should I invest in a LAN adapter? My router has a somewhat busted antenna as well, which may be a cause of bad Wifi connection. (It's very loose all around.). I have 1 computer connected on a line and my laptop and the upstairs computer connected via wireless, which could also be a problem.

Any comments or assistance?
(I have Verizon DSL)

I have the nintendo lan adapter. all I can say is: it didn't fix anything. played with anyone, no lag spike but about 1,5 seconds input/reaction

I played with someone about 6 hours away, 1,5 seconds input/reaction + A HUGE lag spike.

I've played with people who live like next door to me and still get horrible lag. I hope it's on Nintendo's end.
