As Zeph pointed out, it shouldn't affect your ping times, but will affect your download speed, i.e. you're only getting about 5-6meg at the moment instead of max of almost 10meg. A direct connection from the modem to the PC will give you an idea of what your best speed could be. Hope this makes sense..... I'm no teacher, more of a class
ah i see, thanks for help
so it looks like i need to buy a V3 router.

While on the subject... do you think a network card would be better?
you see 1 of my pc's isnt used that much, only when my family goes on it... so really i just need a "wake on" sort of card. Is there a way?

Thanks alot
