Marshall & Susan Willey

Forgive me, but I am new to this. I finally got two computers, ( XP machine
at the router and Win 98 machine with a wireless adapter) able to access the
internet. ( cable ) I am using a D-Link DI-514 router and a D-Link DWL-520
PCI
adapter. Download times seem to have slowed down after the setup. News
groups have slowed the most. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks
 
Many many things could cause this including slowdown of your broadband
connection (more users on your loop), internet congestion (depends
what time you use it.) Its hard to know what in specific is causing
such a general problem, your wireless router maybe sharing it's
internet connection with a few other people as well. My first check
would be to check the wireless router and see how many people are on
it when I notice this slowdown. That is a good first step in this.
