Default Slow download speed?

Hi all

If I download something on my laptop it is really fast, but if I use my PC, its quite slow, seems to take forever. They are both connected to the same wireless router.

Have tried reinstalling the belkin software for the PC but hasn't improved anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Rich

Check your signal strength on the PC. You may find something, like a power source, furniture, walls ect, is interfering with the signal.

It says signal strength as excellent and speed 11mbps. Is that a bit low?

Depends on what router you have and what other things do you have running off of it.
