I'm on a PC running Windows 7 (used to be XP, same problem) that connects to a wifi network that uses an Airport Extreme. We're subscribed to DSL that's supposed to give us ~3000 kbps. Now, we have an Apple laptop that gets about 1200 kbps, and that's fine I guess. But I have never, but never, been able to download ANYTHING at more than 200 kbps. Usually I get about 140, and that's terrible.
I don't really know what other information might be useful, any ideas?
I am using the same thing. Same as you unfortunately...
What is the make and model of your router, and your ISP?
Are you mixing up bits and bytes? Please use the correct capitalizations for them, do they advertise 3000 kilobits/s or 3000 kilobytes/s? 3000 kilobits = 375 kilobytes, I bet everything in OP is supposed to be kB/s though, so I don't know. Does the wired do it, too, or is it just a problem with the Wireless?
When you say you can never download anything faster than 140Kb/s, are you talking about downloading files from servers? Because that is an unreliable test of speed because servers cap their upload per user. Try speedtest.net and post the results
