Wireless signal: 100% - Yet lagging. The heck?

So I just set up my wireless connection in my new apartment, working problem free on my laptop. I went on to connect my PS3 as well and it's connecting just fine. Signal is 100%. But when I play online (BF: Bad Company 2 in this case) I get lag. A slight delay on my actions (a few ms, but more than enough to feel incredibly sluggish), and when I turn quickly or jump the screen blurs slightly (lagging).

What could cause this? And more importantly, how do I fix it? I tried enabling DMZ on the router for my PS3's IP, but that didn't make any difference... :(

What's your NAT type?

Bad Company 2 started to have lag around May. i sold mine to get Red Dead but people who stuck with BC2 had experienced lag ever since. i think they put out a patch, but people say it still lags. try another online game that has stable servers like Uncharted 2 or Metal Gear Online (i know, Metal Gear Online isn't the best online mp in the world, but i have never experienced any lag).

i was contemplating on getting BC2 again (im level 32) but yea, there is lag. i dunno why, though. BC2 has less players than launch, and still back then it didnt lag at all. and they also say there's rubberbanding going on.

I used to lag alot on BC2 but since that patch I haven't lagged at all. My PS3 records a 10 mb/s download speed. Nat type 2

What's your internet speed? If you don't know, go to speedtest.net and post your result here. Your internet is most likely at fault.

Also, try another game and see if that lags.

The signal strength was more meant as an extra piece of information, so you wouldn't think that that was the problem.

I tested the connection and the speeds are exactly what they're supposed to be. I'm not downloading anything while playing either.

NAT Type 2

Upload 1.0 Mbps

I think you may be right about it being a BC2 server issue. I tested CoD: MW and Red Dead Redemption, both worked fine except for perhaps a slight sense of lag on RDR - that might be a server issue as well, who knows. The crosshair gets blurry when turning around on all three games though. Not sure what that's about. It only happens when playing online, so not the TV.

Has anyone heard if they're working on fixing these problems (BC2)? Cause this really sucks :/
