This is my first post and I've never had much experience when it comes to this before so i'll try and give you as much information as possible and hopefully one of you kind people can help me.
Ok I have 3 pcs in my house, one in my room, one in my brothers and one in my mums. We have a wireless network set up in our house. The router is in my mums room, and me and my bro have the adapters.
Ok the strange thing is that my internet is fine and my bro's is really slow and he can't get any good speeds at all. I don't have any clue why but I think it may have something to do with our IP addresses because my IP address ends in .3 and my bro's is .2. When we swap IP addresses our speeds change, he gets the good ones and I get the bad ones.
Is there any way we can both get good speeds? Surely wireless networking was not invented so one person gets all the speed whilst the other gets none.
Sounds very wierd! Wireless networking generally distributes the bandwidth fairly evenly, however I suspect the problem in your case is probabaly at a higher layer than the wireless side of things.
Firstly make sure any firewalls you are using are set up correctly for your local network. If in doubt, try disabling them while testing.
Also confirm that the DNS and default gateway settings on each PC match the IP address of your router. If you are using a mixture of automatic and static IP addresses on your network, be sure that static IP addresses do not fall within the range of your DHCP server (built into the router and usually enabled by default) or the DHCP server is disabled completely.
I actually recommend using DHCP and setting all the computers to automatic as it helps eliminate accidental configuration mistakes. The only time a static IP is needed on a home network is if you are using port forwarding to a computer through the router.
If you have checked all that already you could also try a firmware update on the router (it's amazing what that can sometimes fix!).
