Router limiting internet speed

alexradu89 · 04-11-10, 04:00 AM

Ok, so my dad got a router(the router is trendnet TEW-432BRP D1.2R, not sure how good it is) so that I can share internet with him via wireless. The internet cable is connected to the router, from the router I have another cable connected to my computer, and to my dad's laptop internet goes through wlan. The problem is my internet speed has dropped by 3/4. If I plug in the internet cable directly into my computer, my speed is back up at 100%. Now I'm not acquainted with routers, but my dad set it up and everything (it's also secured, with passwords and everything so no one else is connecting but the 2 of us) but this whole speed limitation is beyond him apparently.If anyone knows his way with routers and could help, I'm here to answer all your questions and hopefully make this "bloody wretched demon from the underworld" work. My internet options also are all set automatically (DNS,dhcp.ip whatever).
