Hi,

Ok, i've got 4 PCs connected to a router so they all have internet, now, sometimes when 1 pc is downloading with let's say Bitcomet or Limewire with only something like 40KB/s, the internet on the other PCs becomes very very slow...

I've got Chello Extreme which provides me with 20MB/s download speed and 2MB/s upload speed, my modem/router setup is as follows:

Modem is connected to the router, 3 PCs (including mine) are connected to the router, then a Hub is connected to the router with a Cordless networking device connected to it which provides internet for the 4th PC...

So i have no idea why sometimes it becomes so slow, could it be my router is going bad?

Thanks.

Are you using a hub or a switch ? If you are using a hub get rid of it , that is what is causing your problem .
