Im going to trade in my cable connection for a wireless adapter to my neighbors wifi. How well would this work? Does anyone else have any issues with this?

I wouldn't suggest it. It works ok sometimes, and other times you'll have huge lag spikes. Its just not reliable. I had mine set up perfectly with in my own house, and I would have times where the game was unplayable other times it worked just fine.


If you are a raider, for sure no.


Casual and you can put up with that.. well still no.

It works damn fine. I am purely wireless in my house and have about 90ms latency time. Have no problem with dungeons, pvp or anything.

I'll also add I play on a MacBook Pro and I can generally get a strong signal even when friends with Windows machines can't even pick it up.

Sometimes it works fine and other times it can get very laggy.


Sharing your neighbor's wireless is a crime in most states, just in case you care

I played WoW on a wireless connection for about 2 years, never had any problems with lags.

Me too I run with less than 100ms on my wireless connection..all the years I've played have been wireless.

this works fine for me.

I'll also add I play on a PC Pro and I can generally get a strong signal even when friends with Mac machines can't even pick it up.
