Once i first bought DirecWay i thought it would be fast enough for online gaming, but what i didnt know was i had another thing coming to me Smile, i have extreme lag, but is the anything i can do or any different settings i could use for Cablenut 4.6, that could help it speed up a little? Any tips or suggestions would be a great deal of help. Thanks!

Unfortunately no.  There is no way to beat the physical limitations of the system.  Packets have to travel 22000 miles up and 22000 miles down.  Then back.

In regards to the lag, definitely not.  Speed, maybe, but there isn't much you can do to tweak it. (assuming you have a 6000 or 7000 modem)
The lag is so high because of a combination of sending a signal a total of 88,000 miles, plus network congestion (adds a lot in DWay's case...)  Your typical ping with DWay will be 800-1500ms
