internet connection problems

packet collisions maybe?

no i dont have another router to try and i have not tried hardwiring both. we are downloading a big file on the wireless computer via torrent but that should not effect how other computers run right?

yes it very much will. what is ur upload rate?

when im uploading a ton over torrent my other roommates cant even browse the internet

upload rate is around 30-40kbps average but its sometimes higher. we are only going to download it at night so it dont slow up anything

but when i would stop/pause the download the wired computer would still be slow until i disabled the wireless card

yeah 40kb/s will kill everyone elses ability to surf the web. u should cap it at 20
