Hello,

For the past few days my Internet has been acting very sluggish and my download speeds are very low. Sites that used to take a few seconds to load now take a minute or so. Also, I used to be able to stream HD video, but now I can barely do 480p. I have tried restarting my computer, modem, and router but to no avail. The weird thing is that this is only happening to two of my computers. I normally have a very fast internet speed, but now on two of my computers it is a sluggish crawl.

Computer 1 - Has Issues

The Windows Wireless Networking Connection Status panel claims that it has 36 mbps download speed, but third party sites and programs claims that it has around a 11 kbps download speed.

Mostly has issues with streaming video.

Computer 3 - No Issues

Internet is very fast and responsive. Same third party site claims it has a 30 mbps download speed.

Mac OS X

Can anyone offer a solution to why this may be happening? Thank you very much.

For both PCs make sure you have the latest wireless driver. If it is an integrated adapter get the driver from the laptop manufacturer's web site. If you already have the latest driver reinstall it anyhow in case the installed instance is corrupted.
