Hey TL, I have a straightfoward yet annoying issue with my wireless internet. My house contains of one desktop computer and two laptops. Whenever the laptops are using any sort of internet connection, the connection on my desktop either completely turns off or becomes ridiculously slow.

I am using a linksys router and my desktop has a Linksys USB plugin for the wireless connection. This works PERFECTLY fine when it is the only connection being used, yet fails miserably when the laptops are turned on.

I've tried changing my ip, turning off firewalls, resetting routers, and almost everything that involves common sense.

Any help please? :D

try looking in the router settings too see if you can give a certain ip priority/more bandwidth

also: wireless sucks

Is the wireless in the laptops 802.11b or 802.11bg? Do you have RTS/CTS on? (I would think it would be on by default but its a problem you could check for.)

802.11b

Uhm, how do I turn off RTS/CTS? Google failed me. Thanks~

@syz
The sim city of my house makes it virtually impossible to use a non wireless connection. Lets just say that glueing tables to a wall was not the greatest idea ever.

You want RTS/CTS on. It manages when your computers are allowed to transmit and solves the problem of two computers who don't see each other.

It might be that for some reason 802.11b speeds are causing your problem. I think if you have 802.11b mixed with 802.11bg it will force it to the lower 802.11b rates. First you should try lowering your rts/cts fragmentation threshold. Play with it and see if it helps. Just log into your router with the default linksys password for your particular model and there should be an RTS/CTS fragmentation threshold somewhere, possibly under "wireless" or "advanced wireless". It will probably be at 2436 or something (I forget the exact number). Try lowering it.

If that doesn't work, try getting an 802.11bgn wireless usb module for your laptop.
