Oriental, NC | [TWC] Host computer faster speeds
I have a friend with two computers both are running Vista. The host computer has speeds of around 4-5 megs, but the other computer is only getting about 700-800 kbps. Would the router be the problem?

| said by granny60  :yes, it's using a wireless connection Can you connect it via an ethernet cable like your other computer and test it? |

Oriental, NC | I'm sure that can be done. The computer is in another area of NC, but I'm in touch via e-mail. Do you think that could possibly be the problem and hardwiring the wireless connection would fix the problem.

1) Is it a wireless network issue?
or
2) Is it an operating system configuration issue?
Once we know that, we can narrow it down further. |
