hum wish i knew, if you could id suggest using a solid cable instead of wireless ;_; sl isnt very good with wireless, i dont know really never had one.

If SL used tcp it would be heck of alot more reliable reciving , udp is more of a hailstorm and hope you catch most of it.

SL is down right now, but gawked at wiki , router might kick you off when its getting connections from SL, shrug dunno, you can get quite alot of them (spams my connection info -.- )
  1. You should connect to the internet via Cable or DSL only. Dial-up is not supported. "Wireless" internet packages, such as satellite internet, aren't true broadband and aren't supported. University or business connections may have Second Life's communication ports and protocols blocked; see our Firewall Configuration Page for more information on the hardware ports required for Second Life.
