    Not unless you're downloading very large files that's taking up all the bandwidth.

    are you talking about the actual router bandwith or your internets bandwith?

    If 2 computers are sharing 1 internet connection then yes your download speeds will relatively be slower depending on the activity

    As for your actual connection to the router, i have 3 wireless computers connected to my router and i still get a ping of 1 to 3
