Don't forget wireless has more delay (latency) than does wired just to start with. Then when you are bridging a connection with a computer, the computer has to handle it's own traffic, plus any processing it's doing, and the bridging too.
This of course is just all in theory on how things work. Now the question is.... is there enough latency in all of that to matter, or not?? I really don't know, because I've never tried it. My guess is on average using an XP machine as a bridge your going to be adding between 5ms to 20ms to your connection. Then add the wireless latency (between about 2ms to 20ms depending on usage). So my guess is your adding between 7ms to 40ms latency by using your approach.
Now at an extra 40ms in games like Halo 2, does it matter? |
