ghost74 Posted August 6, 2008 CID Share Posted August 6, 2008 I don't have the fastest internet but my connection is 1.5mb. When I go down to my task bar and put my pointer on my connection it shows me connected at 1.0mbps up to 11.0mbps. When I am at my father-in-laws house it shows me at 54.0mbps and my internet is much faster. I run wireless here as well as when I have my laptop at my in laws. What could be causing me to have a slower connection speed on my own router? Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His says that because he's on a wireless router ( you knew that already ), there can be so many different reason why your slower. If it says " up to 11. MB , there's no way to get that from a 1.5 connection. ( you knew that already ) Do a speedtest here at tesmy.net, and post it, do the upload as well.

ghost74 Posted August 6, 2008 Author CID Share Posted August 6, 2008 My father in law has a 1mb connection. I have a 1.5mb connection and my speed on my connection says connected a 1.0mbps off my wireless router but sometimes it reads 11.0mbps. Off his wireless router it says 54.0mbps.

dlewis23 Posted August 6, 2008 CID Share Posted August 6, 2008 That would be because you have a B router. the maximum connection from your computer can be is 11mbps. he has a G router which has a max from his computer to his router of 54mbps.
