The way I read this is your wireless laptop gets 27Mbits/sec to 102
desktop and 7.5 to 100 desktop. The obvious deduction would be that
something is broken in the WIRED connection to 102 desktop. Possibly
a broken cable or NWAY mismatch. Have you tried the speed between the
two desktops? My guess(tm) is that the 100 desktop is stuck in
10baseT-HDX mode, which yields about 7Mbits/sec thruput. Check the
100 computer network card settings and diagnostics.

>wired laptop connection thruput...90Mbs

Laptop to which desktop? Try it to both desktops. I think you'll be
suprised. (Please work on being more specific.)

Those will help if you have interference, but I don't think that's the
problem.

The surest sign of success is pollution. Wi-Fi is successful.
