Broadband sharing not equally shared!!

[Coxy01]

Hi,

I have recently got broadband in my home, The connection is shared over two machines using a netgear wireless router, hub, modem etc all in one job,

the router is plugged directly in to 1 machine and there is a wireless connection to a second machine,

the machine plugged directly in to the netgear router gets priority on the connection, due to this the second machine is much slower at downloading\surfing,

is there any way to even out the sharing of the connection?

muchos grasias amigos!!

The wired connection likely has a 100 mbs connection to the router, whereas the wirelesss connection is substantially less.

the network connection is not the reason that it is slower, the connection to the wireless machine is 48mbs and reports as 100% signal strength, it is 802.11g

Cheers

Do a tweak test on both connections and see if there is any substantial difference in the results between the two machines:

It may be that there are RWIN or MTU values that can be changed. But I do not see why the router would give any preference to a cabled connection vs. a wireless one. Some other issue must be at work.
