Basically I can't get the wireless signal be cause my pc is too far away from the router so I decided to get one of those Ethernet things that plug into the plug socket in the wall. The Internet is fine for me but whenever I start watching YouTube or something my brothers Internet is really bad. His connection is fine but the speed is horrible. He is always losing connection to Skype calls and his games when he is trying to play with his friends. Plz help.

I just followed all the instructions to increase bandwidth on windows 7 on the computer that couldn't get the wireless properly. It worked for about half an hour then his Internet didn't work again. Do I need to lower the bandwidth on the computer with LAN?

Adam's point was that the bandwidth from your ISP is likely not enough for video streaming and other activities. This cannot be changed by setting in Windows. So "What speed internet do you have from your isp? "
