yea...all my consoles are hooked up wirelessly...im trying to understand what ur saying but im not up to par with all the terminology.

Wireless transmits over the air using a frequency.  If other things are transmitting on that frequency, they can interfere with the wireless signal and cause things to suck.

The first thing you want to do is turn off or disable all of the devices but one and see if that one device works well.  If that thing works well, then one of the other devices might be causing interference or might be using too much bandwidth.  An example of something using too much bandwidth would be a computer running bittorrent or any file sharing/P2P program or uploading something.

What you need to first determine is if the problem is your wireless being overcommitted or if it is your Internet being overcommitted, as these are the likely causes.

Examples of things that might overcommit your wireless are you running devices that interfere, such as microwaves, florescent bulbs, other wireless access points in your apartment or building, bluetooth devices including console controllers, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.

The thing is, wireless sucks for gaming.  Avoid it whenever possible.

However, for this case, first turn off the computers and see if your internet still sucks.
