Download speed
I was hoping that a second computer with it's WiFi card could double my upload/download speed.
Didn't happen, one computer had 400 Mbs download speed while the other had around 40 Mbs. When I stopped the fast downloading computer, the other download speed went up to around 380 Mbs. Is the wireless signal "weakened" by the other ? :-) Andy |

If this is so, then I always thought that the machine can only use one connection at a time. It can't use both connections simultaneously. However, if you are saying that you have a laptop with WI-FI and desktop with Ethernet then if using both at the same time, the bandwidth comes into play. The laptop and desktop will share the broadband connection and so the speed of both would reduce proportionately. This is always what I believed but I am sure some engineers will have something else to say. -- Good Guy Website: http://mytaxsite.co.uk Website: http://html-css.co.uk Email: http://mytaxsite.co.uk/contact-us |

So it seems that the bottleneck is that shared link, whether one PC uses it all, or N PCs split it N ways. Normal condition. -- Cheers, Bob |

The limiting factor may well be the speed of yout internet access modem. That wouldn't explain why one computer is faster than the other. Does which is faster depend on which starts first? |
