Cutting a long story short: NTL broadband (1Mb) installed on Tuesday. Also installed Belkin wireless network. All fine initially, but seems that speeds much faster on laptop (using wi fi card) than on desktop (which has cable modem attached to it). If I use the desktop alone it starts off whizzing along in a very satisfactory way, then grinds to a sickening almost halt - reminiscent of the speeds I used to get with BT Gold (remember that, anyone?). Turn on laptop and everything is fine - so presumably low speed on desktop is due to a setting on that? If two people using internet - one on laptop and other on PC - laptop is fine while desktop virtually gives up.
Cleared temporary files etc. to no avail. Would be very grateful for your thoughts!
(Incidentally, the Belkin router is attached to desktop pc and to cable modem with ethernet cables. Belkin router uses USB connection to PC. This wasn't as set-out in the manual, but seems to work given that laptop is working well on broadband via wi-fi. But could this be the source of my problems?)
