Nyff 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 So, there are four of us in our student house with a Virgin 30MB connection. When it is just me on the broadband I can get close to the 30MB speed, but with four of us using the internet at the same time the connection drops to around 15MB when stood by the wireless router and as low as 1/2MB up in the top bedroom. I get that multiple users is always going to be a problem, but will increasing our broadband speed actually help anything with regards to this? And how about moving the router?

Christmas Tree 4375 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 What about getting an upto date router with the new n wireless technology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Messing about with the channels...in the same room, on my MacBook, I get 25MB, but other windows laptops only get 1.28MB...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 How do I go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just seen that I would need an extra router (can't do it on the Virgin Superhub). Hm. I am guessing there is no point upgrading the speed? House mates want to spend extra ££ thinking it will improve their speeds (when in reality, I imagine, it will just mean I get an even better speed!)
