We both run Windows 7 and are both hardwired to the internet. Our computers are comparable. When I do a speedtest.net test I get speeds of 55Mbps, when Angus does it he gets 15Mbps, he also has problems loading new pages on the internet, it takes forever to load. This is true in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera. When he plays COD his pings are not much different from mine. The only thing different on our network is a new modem. He has tried scanning his system for malware and viruses. He has changed the ports on the modem. He has made sure the proxy settings are off. He has defragged. He has tried using an "N" wireless router. Any help here would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Which is the main pc off the router? What you might try is just switching the hardwire to where he is the primary pc and you the secondary or vice versa! Gatorgirl it could also be the cable needs replaced I have had to do that more than just a couple times throughout the years! Good luck with this challenge you have! I wonder if it could be his internet access card is bad or evden not big enough! I have seen them form 100mps to 1000 mps! I hope I am saying all this stuff right! I am not having a good day and don't remember technical names and stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

What is you upload speeds and download? I used to have up to 5 mg download and found they were only giving me 1 mg because they were throttling something their not supposed to do. So you may have to upgrade your service. You can check your speed here speedtest.net to make sure you are getting what you pay for.

I think he is starting to peter out there Gator it might be time to just try a newer model. Oh BTW! did you try to give him one of those little blue pills it might get him up to 55Mps so he can shoot his load of pages that's been backing up. Gator if all else fails you can strap-on a proxy and change his port. :devil: Edited January 5, 2014 by Noears711XI The Flush, Damage_inc-, WeednFeed and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the same router, both hardwired and I get 55Mbps and he is getting 15 Mbps. They can't just throttle one computer on the same router can they?
