That is why virus protection was invented.

Maybe re-install the drivers, power cycle the modem and router, turn off your computer then boot back up.

You probably share your bandwidth with your neighborhood.

not your router dude your actual internet speed, your router could be 7 billion gbs but if your internet speed is only 10Mbs you will only get like maybe 1Mbs around there

ok dude do you have a computer not on wifi to run another speed test on? 

[techguru]

 

show us your device manager under network adapters

[riawoias]

You should test between a wired PC and the wireless PC if you have two PCs on your LAN (Home network). Using your WAN (Outside) connection to test is going to be quite random and your testing a lot more than just the wifi connection. Just transfer back and forth a multi-gigabyte file and multiply the MB/s speed windows eventually says by 8 to get your mbps speed of your wifi.

device manager....and yes....a wired connection to the router would help us determine a few things

[riawoias]

His computer might not be near the router though. Unless he has a very long ethernet cord or it is actually very close.

[riawoias]

Can you check the crude signal strength from the PC side and router interface. What wifi router/wifi ap do you have by the way?

Just to make sure have you checked to make sure the antennas are tightened moving them around can make them loosen pretty easily. To tighten you need to grab the knurled part which is right where the connector is.

 

Does your router look like this? http://www.sky.com/shop/broadband-talk/sky-hub/
