New computer, Same Internet, new problems :(

[Ethrial]

I just recently got a new computer, a matter of 2 days, and I noticed that while using the same connection and such, I would get disconnected from time to time. The connection from my computer to the router (wireless wifi junk) would never go to max reception. (5 sticks, excellent, whatever you want to call it.)

On my previous machine, compaq presario laptop something or other, i would never get anything lower than max reception and the speed would always be at its max (54mbps) whereas the speed is usually on 1mbps or 34mbps ranging in between. Very rarely is it at 54 and if it is, it quickly changes back.

I'll be connected on things like msn and ventrillo and ill be disconnected from both because my connection went to:
speed: 1mbps
Connection: low
while still being connected.

Another thing i noticed. The computer is by far better in every way than the laptop running games like Team Fortress 2 flawlessly. But when i played TF2 on my laptop, the lowest ping i would get from servers near me was around 30-50. On the computer, in the same servers, i would get 100+ on everything.

Any help at all would be really apreciated. If theres any info that i left out and you need to know just ask.

Thanks :D

What speed did you pay your ISP to give you?

[Ethrial]

I payed them to give me 20 megs a second.

I'm probably not getting all 20...they told me somethin about me living in the older part of town so the wires and things available to me cant be at their max potential or something. But I would never get disconnected and such on my laptop.

Alright I'll try with those settings. Thanks :D

I'm not sure if you wanted me to post the results but here they are. :p

Seems the best speed you can get from your ISP is about 3 mbps.

Seems your upload speed is rather low for a 20 mbps line.

Scan your comp for possible spyware/malware using:

SpyBot
Ad-Aware 2007

and clean your registry with CCleaner.

[Ethrial]

Wow the results seem alot better. Ping halved completely haha thanks trogers :D
