Hey guys,
Sorry for the ne post but i'm having a hell of a time getting a straight answer when I search. So anyways, here goes:
I have an SMG Barricade G 54mbps wireless router using windows Vista 32 Home. On the wireless network I have a Nintendo Wii, a Nintendo DS and my sisters laptop. Now it was my understanding that when using a wireless connection the bandwidth that each system can access is not limited when another one of the systems was using bandwidth for, say DLing for a torrent site or even videos for that matter. This does not seem to be the case in that when i'm using Utorrent and my brother is playing Wii WiFi, he suffers terrible lag. Is there a work around for this? Or is it just that there is limited bandwidth that can be shared over a wireless network? Could these connections be sharing the same ports which might be limiting the bandwidth then?
I am a complete novice at networking, so I really have no idea where to start. Last bit of info: I am running Norton firewall and my wireless conection is not secured from others using it.
If there is something I can do to correct this I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Cheers
