Hey guys,

So Ill make this quick as its not the most important of matters. Anyways Id like to make my internet quicker as all of us would. My computer is the farthest away from the router in the house. Right now we have 3 computers connected to it, cellphones,ipod, and xbox.

My basic question is essentially if I turn off the wifi on these devices will that boost my results as Im guessing since their closer they get more speed provided. I have AT&T dsl. Any replies would be appreciated, thanks.

Proximity is an essential part of wireless performance, so I still think you jumped the gun, as the ISP increasing your speed may not do anything if you have wireless and it isn't set up properly or you have poor performance from your network.

Which is probably an issue within the local network. The problem appears to be (or suggested to be) is limited bandwidth in the local network. So faster internet speed from the ISP may not solve anything.

Thanks for the replies guys. For pinncales first question, sorry, no Im referring to devices that are currently on right now using up wifi. Then for the latest answer, yeah your probalby right man. I've heard alot of negative things about DSL, thing is I actually prefer the T.V. serice over cable. Guess cables internet is faster though. On speed test Im clocking speeds pf 45 ping. Up/Down:1.1/1.5. Its not the worst in the world I suppose just want to make sure everythings running as optimal as Im paying for I guess.
