Not file sharing but if I click a link on a website the page 'loads' but nothing happens…if I click again, the page starts to refresh but nothing happens, then when I click again it finally does load…not ideal for online banking and the like where you need to login. Connection is now back at the desktop and I'm wired into the router – 100Mb is fine but the web connection is now below 1Mb. The laptop however seems to be flying (new Acer running Windows 7 and wireless)…I'm not sure if it's my PC that is now slowing things down, but it's crawling.
If I plug the router into the test socket in the house, I get 2.5Mb but then everything needs to be wireless, so although the web connection is faster, my connection between PC and router is slower so the same sort of issues occur. I'm looking at ways to either improve my web connection speed or improve my wireless reception so that either of the 2 solutions I can do in the house will work better.
