Wired Connection Issues

[Rev15]

Hey guys.
Been wanting more practice and in an attempt to reduce the crazy amount of lag I was experiencing running a wireless connection, I picked up the USB ethernet adapter.
I went in to the Wii options to set it up and the connection tested properly, but when I go in to brawl (I connect to the Wii network no problem) I sit in the practice stage forever. I sat there for 10 minutes without being paired with anyone. So I switched my connection back to wireless and was matched with 4 people in a couple seconds, but the lag was still unplayable.
I'm running my connection from my modem, through a router, and finally through a switch.
Any ideas?

Edit: I also make sure none of my computers at home are downloading things; BIttorrent, frostwire ect...

The messed-upness of the wi-fi makes it imposible to accurately explain why theres lag or why you never find anyone in 5 hours...

I never used the usb method... (had to go before i can finish my answer =/)

 

[Rev15]

Perhaps I should be more clear...
I want to use a wired connection through my USB-ethrnet adapter but I'm never paired with anyone while I do so. I do NOT want to use wireless because as I understand it, it causes more lag.

Should've asked in the Q&A...

Ah-hem but anyway this sounds interesting. You tried brawling with a registered buddy online?

 

[Rev15]

No I haven't. Don't really have anyone to Brawl with :S

 

[:downs:]

Strange. I use wireless, and I can get totally lagless matches. I can sit there for literal hours and not find anyone, maybe you're just having bad luck? Did you only try once?

 

[Rev15]

I've tried a couple times switching back and forth between wired and wireless and get the same results each time.

Edit:
Played a game with a fellow member through friend code and the wire seemed to work fine. Was still pretty laggy though. How often should I expect lag-free games? (ie. similar to playing against computers??)

It's the Wifi, if your trying to play BB or TB you'll have moments where the game's server won't connect you to either mode for a long time. When that happens you have to switch to the other mode to quickly connect to players. For that it is best to wait it out then try again.

So its like a double negative? Ethernet adapter, ya can't find players, wireless, ya find players but with lag issues? Do you have a phone connection? Or maybe no one was free to brawl? Maybe its the area?

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

It's their server being stupid. Even now I'm trying to connect and it's taking way too long in BB. Plus I get constant disconnects that force me back to the main menu. Wireless is worst...

 

[Sephy95]

Its workin' fine for me. I was havin' a HELL of a time like 20 minutes ago.

I'm still having no luck. I'm still trying...

What i usually do when the wi-fi doesn't connect is that i will reset my internet modem... works most of the time, but not all the time. Thats what i do if i get constant error 86420 or when i can't find anyone.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Wow I finally connected to someone and more players are popping up. Finally... XD

 

[Sephy95]

I swear, the players I've been getting lately have so much enthusiasm to fight. This is how Brawl SHOULD be!

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I wish I could say the same. XD

 

[Rev15]

Do you guys ever play a game with minimal lag? IE. Like playing against a computer without being connected to the Wii network??

 

[Sephy95]

Most of the time I have minimal lag but when it wants to it LAAAAAAAAAAAGS.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

During the day the lag for me gets bad. On nights it is slight to no lag.

 

[Sephy95]

Same here kinda.

 

[Claire Diviner]

For me, I always lag. As a result, my MK game is so horrible. One time, I went to glide underneath Battlefield, but when I wanted to glide up, the input lag didn't respond in time, and I SD'd at the bottom Blast Line. There have been reare exceptions where I've experienced very minimal lag, and those were against Bynine and Vermanubis... probably because they live fairly close to where I am.

 

[Sephy95]

I got a friend that lives in Austin(me in San Antonio) and we can have some lagless matches but it can still become laggy either way.

I'm starting to notice an increase in the amount of disconnecting while I'm on the result screen. Though, I have several ideas why it's disconnecting.

So what do you guys think it could be?
