I'd say that the next step here is to check the settings on your router. You mentioned before that it was running on to channel 6 and channel 2 (that's confusing me but I'm assuming it's due to your router supporting MIMO with your wireless N, not something I've personally used). Channel 6 tends to be a very populated channel, as it's right in the middle of the range. For years, it was also the default of most routers out of the box. I'd suggest giving 11 a shot (I'm noticing your screenshot name appears in Russian, and the European channels are somewhat different, so you might even get away with another, like 14). You may even have luck changing off channel 2. More importantly here though, is if your router channel is set to Auto, change it. Setting it to auto lets the router change channels whenever it detects interference (like say a neighbor picking up a cordless phone). When this happens, your connection will often hiccup, as your computer is disconnected and reconnects to the new channel. This switchover could easily explain a few random-seeming disconnects or lag spikes. I had this issue for a while on an old DLink router of mine, after the folks out home picked up a cordless phone - it would change channels and for a couple seconds all the computer's connections would stall or disconnect and reconnect.
I already switched it to channel 9. The NETGEAR Program on my computer now reads "Ch. 9, 5" instead.
Also...Russian? Lol. It's just a bunch of random english letters/numbers. Tinypic does that.

Ah. Not familiar with Tinypic.
Also as you said, it wasn't Russian, just a bunch of letters. Just another reason I have to stop being on forums at 4-5 in the morning. :/
I might also have confused it with a few other posts I had open, either way, my bad.
So how are things with the new channel, and router? I assume you're still getting a few hiccups? Has there been any improvement (or even degradation) at all? I'm still leaning towards an interference issue, but I have less of an idea what it could be at this point.

There were never any problems to begin with. =P
ToGC25 for three hours last night, no lag, not a single d/c or lag spike. Latency always below 150.
