FIXED!

Hello there!

Since I've tried EVERYTHING and I googled a lot about my problem, I've just decided to ask you guys for help.

So I have this issue with my internet - when the PC or my laptop is turned on there is no problem with the internet connection, but when both are turned on the internet starts to lag - loads webpages slow and if i try play MMO (WoW specificly) I reach like 4-5k ms latency which is obviously not normal.

PC is connected via Ethernet and my laptop with wireless. Both, my laptop and my PC are with Windows XP with updated drivers. Router is TP-LINK WR-740N (I know it's not with big range but PC and laptop are in the same room so I guess it shouldn't be a problem).

Things I've tried and did not work:
Turning off router for 10 secs.
Connecting the laptop via another ethernet.
Resetting the router.
Updating firmware.
Bought new router

But still I have this problem, it's annoying already.
I would appreciate some help,
thanks!

FIXED!

I'm confused also, but do you use Carbonite to backup files? I've noticed my internet lags big time if the backup is running. Just a thought if it pertains to you.

Well as I said I've bought completely new router (same model tho) and the problem is still here.

I've just noticed that only when my laptop is turned on there is the problem... When other laptop is connected all is fine. Could it be from my laptop, some kind of a hardware problem? I've noticed that even when it's connected with another router (completely different mark) and the PC which is also connected with ethernet they both have the same problem. Absolutely mysterious...

My bad. I must have misread it.
