something seems to be wrong with my internet connection. truthfully, when downloading, my download speed seems to be limited to only 100kbps. i remember being able to download up to 500kbps before with a different internet connection. both times, i use Flashget download. i change whatever i could in the settings for best optimum performance. i don't think the flashget download software is the case though, cuz both times i have the same settings only different internet connection. i only i currently have (the limited one) is cable internet, it's setup with a wireless router and is security-enabled. the 500kbps wasn't security-enabled wireless router. i don't know what type of internet it was, whether cable, DSL or otherwise since i only been freely using it. it seems that both wireless router is 802.11g since both networks display 54MBps as it top speed.
can anyone help me with this problem? at first i thought that the reason is the security-enabled network? but if i disabled it, then it would be a risk.
btw, my current wireless router, the 100Kbps limited download rate one, is a D-link
Wireless G 54 router (product id : DI-524). i hope this helps in any way.
I really hope someone who knows more about networks could really help me with this problem. cuz downloading at 100kbps speed isn't as satisfying as download at around 500kbps ( mostly it was downloading at 380kbps but that is still way better than 100kbps).
i only wish to utilize the internet speed to its full potential. i was also wondering since it the cable internet. if i were to upgrade my cable internet speed, would it do any better. and also which is faster, cable or DSL when it comes to wireless router networking?
truly looking forward to ur help. any insights and opinions is greatly appreciated. i want to learn more about this anyway.
