Linksys BEFSR41v4 is the router which is sharing internet between 2 computers. It works until I try to use both computers simutaniously.Say im downloading on the 1 computer, then the other computers internet will be serverly slow and just bogged out.But as soon as i stop using both at a time, the internet will share. Any ideas as to whats happening?

Your connection is being shared between the 2. Therefore when you download on 1 the available bandwidth on the other will slow. It is normal.
