hello, first post here, any help would be much appreciated
my computer has gotten noticeably slower in the last month or so. i started to notice while playing COD on-line. my pings were 200-700 range it would make it impossible to play, and most servers would kick me for high ping. (while a month or so ago i would get kicked for having too low of a ping from other servers)
i followed most of the steps in the sticky and it didn't seem to help.
i live in a densly populated college neighborhood. now that i think of it my 'node' now propably has 1000 more people than it did before school started a month ago. though i don't know where the boundaries of the node are. i also share this connection with the house next door which i own and rent to 4 students. they pay for the internet connection and i have a cat5 and cable line run to my house. (just part of the rental deal i made with them) i have done this same deal for over 5 years with the house next door, never any problems.
anyway, i am on comcast and have a 6mb connection. i have a linksys wrt54g wireless router (with current firmware) running one laptop wireless and 4 others off ethernet ports. can i configure the router to give certain computers more or less bandwidth?
my computer is the #1 slot. sony vaio 2.2G, 512 ram, running windows xp with all current upgrades. i ran my adaware, nothing unusual, i ran mcaffe nothing, i ran ccleaner and removed over 800mb of old stuff?!
i ran a tweak last night, speedguide.net tcp optimizer https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
my DUmeter shows a faster beginning at 90-250k when it goes to 1-10k for awhile, most of the time its around 20-30k
test results from 5 mins ago,
thank you in advance
jon
