I play with my brother in lan.. it starts ok (not the best but playable) and when there are many ships in the game it becames so laggy that it isn't playable and then we're very disappointed .. is it armada's fulte, or somthing with my (100mbps!) routuer? (settings? wireless?)

Have you thought of upgradeing so that the wired end is fiberoptic? That can enhance the wired side of the network up to 1GB so that there is no byte rate funneling when going from wireless to wired. That should work...

I'm not sure what the problem is, because I play lan with my friends all the time.  I've only had problems with slow connections (11Mbps to be exact )  But it usually works just fine.

btw my router is 100Mbps also, it is my computer that is slow.

We play wireless lan 6 player games all the time, no lag at all. A couple of desync issues on one network (which is the worst network we use) but never any lag. Sounds like either one of you has the graphics up too high for the computer or you're on wireless a/b or something, never had a problem with G.

Yah, I definitely agree...unless ...is this a new thing, did it start with the new patch?  If not then I agree.

Just some Ideas
(1)Try to change the network latency
(2)turn off all other programs while playing.
(3) Check the computer usage section of your task manager you might be out of virtual memory.  This could be caused by running other programs.
(4) Try to get your computers (If they are laptops) As close to the router as possible.

1-what is latency?
2+3+4-have been doing that..
