Ok, I hope my questions is not to complicated but here it goes.

I recently got road runner internet with turbo boost which can max out at 15000 kbs or 15 mb per second. I had the router hooked to my xbox 360 via wire and then to my desktop computer via wireless. In the bottom right of the screen where it has the little computer icon to display your internet connection it was telling me I was getting 135.0 mbs. It was very fast and doing fine. Now here is the problem.

My roommate started connecting his computer to the router and was having problems. His friend came over who knows a lot about computers and TRIED to connect his computer to the router via wireless but could not get it to work. By the end of this process my speed WENT down to 65.0 mbs from 135.0 mbs. Is that normal to drop that much? Even after my roommate shut his computer down and was completely disconnected from the net, shouldnt my speed go back up to display 135.0 mbs??? Because it has not.

I believe that my roommate told his friend to tweak the router a certain way to only allow me so much bandwith even when he is not on. Is that possible?

If anyone can ANSWER these for me it would really help.
Thanksif they were having connection problems it migt have been because the router is a wireless-N router, and your PC has a wireless-N card- but your friend is stuck with Wireless-G.

HIS friend probably changed to router SETUP (which you can put a password on, by the way) to only allow Wireless-G clients, so now your PC is connecting via Wireless-G instead of the faster Wireless-N.

However since neither 65mbps or 135mbps are standard wireless speeds, I don't know...My FRIENDS labtop is a couple years old BUT our router is the Linksys WRT300N and it puts out both N and G signals.

About the speeds I meant we get 15-18 mbs. Quote from: cadethebigshow on April 01, 2009, 05:23:20 PM
