I have hi-speed internet:
Download Speed: 5229 kbps
Upload Speed: 5499 kbps

Is there any way at all i can make it faster?? and also, i have bearshare and the sped doesnt even get close to 4000 kbps. i dont know why, but please tell me how i can make it faster for bearshare too.
(For free)
5229 kbps is one of the slowest speeds i’ve gotten. it usually reaches up to 11Mbps. why does it change so much? and is there anyway i can stop it from doing that, so it could always be around 9-12MB?

(i have fiber-optic internet and there is no modem, the ethernet cable just comes from the wall)

Wired internet is much faster and more reliable, with very little loss of transfer rate vs. Wireless, which is Very unreliable, and much of the transfer rate is lost, nevermind playing a game online

My friend pays over a month for his internet (8Mbps, or roughly 1Mb/s), and due to his wireless setup he gets around 200-300kb/s to his computer. (By the way, we have checked the speed of the internet by using an wired setup and got speeds of 950kb/s)

-.- and 1 more wire to the computer is not difficult/inconvenient (i have a 75ft ethernet cable running from my router to my computer, and no one in my house cares.

So why would you even consider using a wireless internet option?

I have wireless at home but I am staying in a hotel with high speed internet that requires an ethernet cable instead. I find it slower.

Hi,
I have cable internet from Comcast, they installed a wireless router during my installation but the router is terrible. I want to upgrade my router by buying the best router on the market. However, all the routers on the market don’t have a cable outlet on the back like the one I have, although almost all wireless routers out there claim to work with both cable and dsl. So my question is how do I get these routers to work with cable without having a cable outlet on the back? Is there an adapter?
More details,

Thanks for the quick reply…I guess a couple of you got confused with what I was asking. As one of you stated, the router and cable modem are combined, so everything is done from one unit.

One of you mentioned that I can simply get any router on the market, use my current all in one unit as a modem and my new router as a wireless router via an ethernet cable.
Is this right?

Note: I’m not new to pc and not calling any router company because I want to talk to someone who understands what am asking.

I have connected my computer to my other computers router, through an ETHERNET cable. I connected it with an ethernet cable b/c wen it was a wireless connection it wasn’t reliable. When i connected the ethernet cable to my computer and disabled the wireless connection the internet wouldn’t work. How do i setup up the wired connection????

I am having problems with my Linksys wireless router. I have 2 PCs, a laptop, and 2 XBoxes. Everything is fine when it’s all wireless. But I just got one of the Xboxes, and I didn’t want to buy the wireless adapter for it, so I just used an ethernet cable. But now I’m getting disconnections from the wireless and the wired devices. any suggestions?

I live in student accommodation, and internet is supplied to our rooms through a blue ethernet cable running from the wall – the modem is elsewhere I guess. I plug the end of the cable straight into my laptop and I have internet – no logging in or anything. If I were to buy a wireless router and plugged the cable into that instead of my laptop, would that give me wireless?

will plugging in my laptop with an ethernet cable to a router make the internet speed be faster. because i have been wirelessly hooking up my laptop to the router for about 6 months straight now

I heard I could buy a internet bouncer. The problem is my router is in my downstairs, and I need a stronger signal two floors up. I cannot move the router because I do not wish to cut a hole on the floor or buy a longer Ethernet cable.

I’m technologically challenged, so please bare with me.
I have a broadband connection, which runs through a "SURFboard" SB3100 Cable Modem to a Linksys Wireless-B Broadband Router. From the router, an ethernet cable is connected to my computer, which uses Freespire, and has a wireless card in it.
This setup has my internet working on my computer; however, when I try to connect to the should-be wireless network using my iPod Touch, it can’t even detect the network a foot away from the computer. Yet, it can detect my neighbors’ networks. So, it would appear that the problem is with my internet going from wired to wireless.
Help?
