That's wireless for you and a completely different issue to the first poster. If you start your own thread people can advise you but if you put ethernet in and the speed is back to what it should be then you are looking at one of the downsides of wireless, speeds are never as good as on ethernet. Have you tried changing the wireless channel you are using?

This is before I add another pc too.

Is this just going to be the netgear router or is there a way to get full speed through it?
Does this happen in Windows and in Linux as I know you run linux in the evenings sometimes? If it only happens in the linux enviroment then it will focus the issue there but if you see the same performance issue on both then it could well be router related.
