socialman Posted August 26, 2006 CID Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have a desktop and laptop connected through a netgear router. The desktop tests consistantly at over 7Mbs download but the laptop hasn't broken 4Mbs download. Does anybody have any idea why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaseball727 Posted August 26, 2006 CID Share Posted August 26, 2006 Are they both connected by cables? Or is your laptop wireless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 27, 2006 CID Share Posted August 27, 2006 Welcome to the forum... you are going to have to tweak the TCP setting for the wireless adapter.. they are set pretty conservatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted August 27, 2006 CID Share Posted August 27, 2006 Have they always been on the wireless togather, or does one maybe need cleaned out? Spyware and such. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
