Default Re: Internet lulls on Comcast service high speed service

I have no lulls on the main computer that is hardwired into the router. I do experience delays in the laptop that is on the wireless connection. When I experience the delays, I put the cursor on the wireless network icon and check the speed. It is usually down from 54 Mbps (usually 24 Mbps which is very slow). When it was constantly below 54 Mbps, I changed the channel in the router and that helped. Apparently too many users in the same local on different wireless networks using the same channel can affect the speed. Don't ask. I found it on the internet.

If you have an extra cable and a port on the wireless router plug it into your laptop and watch the speed increase. I usually do that when I am installing fixes or downloaded new apps.
