Connection Problem

I have Verizon DSL. I also use a router called LINKSYS 4-port router and my friend uses a router too... I get 40-90kB/s and he gets 80-180kB/s. I would like to know how i can get that speed too? Is it because my phone line travels across my room to my moms room? Or is it because of some computer settings. The phone line  to the phone plug from the DSL modem is about 30-35 feet from my DSL modem. I would like to know how can i increase my speed to at least 170kB/s or higher if i can!

Router Problems

About 2 days ago my conneciton started slowing down like crazy. So i took out the plug for my other comp and then the connection  went back to normal. I was playing a game on computer and i plugged the connection to the other comp back and then my connection started to lagg like crazy again! I have 2 computers connection to the router including this one. This has never happened before Please how can i fix this problem?

It could be one or more of many things..

Network card drivers are faulty.

spyware

viruses

Modem/router deffective

modem/router drivers need updating

phone line or splitter faulty.

I think the easiest thing to do is to go directly thru the modem to test speeds.. If their fine, its the router. If it isnt, borrow  your friends modem and test on your pc.If your speeds are still slow its either something with your machine or the phone lines to your home.

Just some thoughts

s1. ill try some of those things but man is there any other thing i can try right now.. I even shut off the modem for a min that didnt help! I tried following the tweak steps but i kinda got confused. Unless someone can give me a good setting that might help for the CableNut.
