Topic: If mining doesn't use much bandwidth.... (Read 1104 times)
As others have pointed out, something else is at play. Unless you have a share difficulty of like 0.0001 your router isn't going to notice.
FWIW my 1.150 mh/s is running on 3g wireless modem,
it is able to send getwork and stratum easily on every pool except p2pool.
the bandwith is sth like 3kb/s !!! upload and download
so no real reason imo for you rig to have problems

Also try raising the difficulty at the pool you are mining at, but really you shouldn't need to send a lot of traffic back and forth. I assume you are using a modern miner like cgminer/bfgminer with stratum which will generate local work instead of asking the server for new work constantly.
Not sure which miner you are using, or what you are trying to mine, but you may want to check the documentation on your miner s/w. For example, cgminer has a '--net-delay' tag to "impose small delays in networking to not overload slow routers." Also, if it's that big of an issue, you may want to look at instituting some QoS policies in you router to give your gaming packets higher priority in the network.
How come when I mine with a different computer on the same router/network, I get massive lag with BF3?
