Help me please, 2 similar laptops connecting wirelessly to an ADSL router.
Laptop 1 = <1000 kbps
Laptop 2 = 2744 kbps
laptop 1 used to get 2744 but recently has dropped to <1000
I have tried
different browsers
system restore
MTU tweak
Any ideas please?
Antivirus software? Some of them are really slow at packet filtering/analysing.
Both running avg8.
Any more ideas?
are you using both at the same time?
Crap Wifi signal on Laptop 1 - possibly dodgy aerial?
Yes but 1 is not d/l anything while the other is speed testing.
Wifi signal is 5/5 for the slow pc.
I'm running spybot S&D to see if tha helps
Yes but 1 is not d/l anything while the other is speed testing.
Ate you [u]SURE[/u]?
Could be doing background downloading for Windows Updates or virus scanner?
Some software could be updating itself. Or you could have a virus.
Try it without Laptop Two turned on.
I turned the radio off on 2, 1 is still rubbish.
I just ran the [url= http://test.speedtester.bt.com ]BT test[/url] which ignores the PC at the end of the line (some how) and laptop2 returns 2744
and yet a browser based speed test or just d/l a big file from somewhere only returns 1000 and most annoyingly web pages load really slowly.
