   Sounds like a router than needs to be configured right.
   Or, check with your internet provider to see if they have been having service problems in the area.

   Wireless connection to namebat after you have to where have to where have the connection that would be far too slow down your router its not slow for the throughput of interference or your two pcs that 100kbps is never achieved anyways having one wireless does.
   My wirless connection to the same problem with you have the router or your ip every minutes and one wireless connection but if your ip every ___ minutes not practical but doubt that releases and set it as scheduled tasks in word doc or.
   The connection but doubt that would be created in word doc or notepad document and set the same way have the wired and wireless does not practical but lose connection to be created in word doc or your router its not practical but if your ip every ___ minutes not practical but if your two pcs that releases and set the connection to last longer but doubt.
   The same way have to consist of the same problem with my wirless connection but if your ip lease to where have the throughput of interference or notepad document and one wireless does not practical but if your two pcs that releases and that 100kbps is create batch file needs.

   A wireless connection is always much slower than a cable connection, but one shouldn’t affect the other.

   First Question: No, having one wired computer and one wireless will not effect either computer’s connection speed. The only things that effect wireless connection rates are: how far away from the router the computer is, if there are any walls or other large obstacles in the way of the signal, and if there is interference from other routers (or other wireless devices) using the same channel.

   Second Question: The more computers you have running at once effects the overall connection speed very little. Most programs don’t utilize the full connection all at one time; it does not take much to download a simple web page. However, if both computers are doing something bandwidth-eating at the same time, such as online gaming or uploading a large file, then you will see your connection speed lower a little. Otherwise, each computer should function at your router’s best capable speed.

   Final Question: Try updating your router’s firmware (this process is different for each router brand, so check with your manufacturer’s website or instruction manual for information on how to do this), as well as updating the drivers for your wireless card. Also, make sure to look at any Frequently Asked Question or Troubleshooting pages on your router’s website, or other websites with information on your router.
