Hello,
We have 3 computers, two with a wired connection to the router and the third using a wireless connection. My question concerns only the wired connection speed. On the first XP SP3 (wired) computer, Speedtest and Speakeasy show a download speed of about 3 Mbps and an upload speed of slightly over 6 Mbps. (This in itself is surprising, as I expected the upload speed to be the lower.) Within minutes I ran the same speed test on the second wired computer (also XP SP 3) and found the download speed greatly higher, 7.29 Mbps, and the upload speed 5.41 Mbps. These two computers are in the same room and within a few feet of each other. What can I do to determine the considerable speed difference?
Thank you!
