Make and model of router and wireless network card in the desktop would be a good start. As well, what have you already tried? The antenna orientation, proximity of the PC to interfering devices, channel being used, security setup on the router, etc. can all affect performance. It could also just be a wireless device going bad. I had one wireless device I tested on my own PC that ...

Linksys G broadband router, Linksys G pci card in desk top. System reports "excellent" signal strength and full 54 bit rate. That is why I did not think it was hardware. Tried to start in safe mode to see if something was starting that was taking bandwidth. When I start in safe with network I don’t get the wireless so I cannot test it. Not sure how to start it from safe mode. I ...

Go here http://www.dslreports.com/tools Run these test in this order: Speed Test - write down the results Tweak test - save the results Download and install Dr.TCP and run it. Make the changes suggested in the Tweak test. Make sure the correct adapter is shown in the Dr.TCP settings. Reboot.

1337Kb/s download 1023 Kb/s upload speed 70ms better, is this what I should see from 5meg cable? the laptop is still faster. can the desk top be as fast as the laptop? The tweeks did not recomend any other fixes. Is there anything else I should do? thanks

Time of day, server load, hops involved, all contribute to speed. Try the test at different times of day. If you still can't get what is advertised, call your ISP.

We cannot use wireless as a reference when troubleshooting network speed issues. We need to start with the wired performance. If that is good, you have narrowed the search for the problem considerably. DRTCP is very old and was quite relevant with Win 98 as it was not optimized for broadband. XP shouldn't require much tweaking to get a good speed from a 5mbs cable connection....
