    I have an HDX 16-1140us laptop. with the intel WIFI 5100AGN card. I could get speeds to the max in my house which is about 260 KB/s. Now my sister got a DV6-1334ca this christmas, and ever since then my speeds have gone down to 20KB/s while she gets the rest of the given bandwidth. Any ideas why or how to adjust it so i can get half the speed?? we both have the same wireless card, and the router is a Linksys WRT54GC. any type of tweak i can do on this router or a program??

    CORRECTION: i have a WIFI 5100AGN card and she has a 1000AGN card

    Ok so i got a D-Link DIR-655 router with QoS capabilities. How do i set it up so i can get more bandwidth then what i am getting. I searched online but only see them talk about how to set it up for a gaming system like xbox 360 or PS3. Any idea on how to set this up for a PC? Is it the same setup as a gaming system??
