you probably have a wireless-b card in your comp in the other room. the primary pc probably is connected thru ethernet so u get a 100mbps connection. wireless b allows for a maximum of 11megabits/second or 1.375megabytes/s (11/8). if you want better speeds, upgrade to a wireless g network adapter with speed booster which can go up to 108mbps , but usually stays a bit lower.

FYI, as far as the title of this thread, none of this will affect internet speed. Typical internet speeds range from 1.5 Mbps to 6.0 Mbps, some even as high as 10 Mbps. But this is well within even a measly 11 Mbps connection's capabilities. Bumping the connection up to 108 Mbps wireless or 100 wired Mbps ethernet will only affect LAN speeds, and even then you really don't quite get the stated transfer speeds. The main advantage of a wireless-G is better security.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
