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.

Wireless is only sucky if your provider or adapter sucks balls. Using sucky hardware/drivers causes sucky performance? Whodathunkit?!?



You're aware that wireless signal is wireless, and by definition, may pass through other interferences to reach its access point, right? Not everything is so cut and dry with this.

One would presume that adjusting for range and interference fall under "common knowledge" when dealing with wifi. Certainly, in today's Wikipedia/google age, that information is well explained and very trivial to find. So, eliminating that, we're left with provider reliability and hardware/software implementation issues; thus the comments. Or were you just arguing for the sake of argument?

With whips and chains,
To see him fly.

Hooked up a Linksys wireless adapter. Dont really see any issues with the connection and WoW at all as of yet. Im sure in some high population areas, Ill get some lag, but as it is now, I havent had issues. I still have cable until the end of the month, but it looks like this wont be an issue.


Sweet. I get to save 650 bucks a year now.
