1348931 2013-07-15 04:40:00 Having some Internet slow speeds here... my lappie gives me about 8Mbs download, but the other PC which I'm connected to wirelessly is wayyyy slower.

I've just installed MS security Essentials and running a scan... no result yet. But once the scan is completed what is the best site to go to for a speed test on her PC?

My lappy is Vista SP2, her's is XP SP2

1348935 2013-07-15 05:00:00 Yeah speedtest.net

If it's affected on WiFi, then expect it to be:
Router
Wireless interference
Range related
WiFi card on the client device

It may also be more than just one of the aforementioned.

1348936 2013-07-15 05:10:00 Thanks guys... I sorted the shizza out. Her puter now does slightly better speeds than mine, so all is gud. Dunno how I did it, but miracles still work in 'puterland. Or maybe I'm just good! lol Greg (193)
1348937 2013-07-15 05:28:00 Sounds like the alcohol taking over? ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
1348938 2013-07-15 07:01:00 Sounds like the alcohol taking over? ;)Hey J... I never did deny alcohol in my life. But maybe, perhaps, just maybe...it helped. I did fix her 'puter, and half of this is because of you buggers helping me over the years.

But.... have you ever re-built an old Alfa Romeo virtually from the ground up? Including the electrics, body-work, transmission, hydraulics? Burned your eyes out cos of the steaming radiator? I been there Mr... you're good at what you do... I'm also good at what I've done

I would need a lot of alcohol to get something like that done.... Coz I would have to pay somebody else in beer to do it :D

1348940 2013-07-16 03:17:00 Speedtest.net is unreliable, from lots of sources it overrates the speed HIGHLY, my internet speed was apparently 5.5Mbps, when is was 775 kbps -.- darkoverlord123 (16996)
