Lag Problems

I've looked through a couple of topics regarding lag problems, and they either revolve around not being able to host or involve several people trying to use the same network to play SC, as I understand.

For me, it's different. I'm using a router and an internet card; there are no other computers in our network using SC. It seems I have normal browsing speed and with no problems. However, my ability to connect to battle net is... fluctuating with a period of about 5-10 minutes. If it's in the 'bad mood', I can't even access my account on b.net (the screen 'accessing account' just stays there until I press cancel). If it's in the 'good mood', I can connect, perhaps even join a game (not good enough to host, though), but will still lag the hell out of everyone in the lobby and game.

This is going on for several months now, but I clearly remember that when I first moved into the new room, I had no such problems.

What do you think is the problem and what may be its solution(s)?



None.

Bandwidth throttling?



None.

Nobody's downloading/uploading anything.

I remember there being something regaring port forwarding (or whatever it is). Can that be related to the problem at hand.



None.

Definitely port forwarding.

Google Starcraft Port Forwarding, or see that I have done it for you here and here.

On a side note, neither of these guides is very good. I think SEN needs one of its own that does things in much more detail.

Despite what your AV might say, it isn't a virus.

I tried accessing my routar with the default IP (176.89.0.1. or something like that), but it didn't work. I'll talk to my flatmate who is an IT god. I'd like to do it manually because I don't like installing new software on this computer. I'll post again when I get some results.

Oh_Man -- it can pick the weakest mutalisk off from a stack of mutas - pretty OP
[02:30 am]
Oh_Man -- against zerg: https://youtu.be/PK5WD1EAnpU
[02:22 am]
Oh_Man -- another match here, way more wraiths
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and templars psi storm as arty said is a strong counter to the marine med the bot was going, so the wraith was actually the correct play there
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and the wraith was cloaking and going around sniping templars (which wuld be too hard to perfectly micro in a normal human game and the wraith wuld die or distract u too much trying to micro it vs doing other things)
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- they usually require too much micro so it's 'dumb' for a human to use them. but in the hands of the AI they become god tier, ghosts locking down goons and helping get them picked
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis also didnt understand a couple of its plays, coz they make no sense for a human, but they did for the AI. The wraith and the ghost for example
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- it's issuing orders to each unit individually, so the number sounds more hype than it actually is, it's just an artifact of it not being able to use control groups
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- also the 6000 APM is kind of a fake/incorrect number, which is xplained by the AI maker in the comments. it's not using control groups, it doesnt have that functionality
