If you have multiple computers hooked up to the same internet connection, it will go slower no matter what you do.

 

There are a few things you can try.

 

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your linksys router and all related hardware

 

try using TCP Optimizer to boost your connection speed.

 

To use TCP OPtimizer, set the slider to your connection speed. Choose "Optimal Settings" and "Modify All Network Adapters" Much like in the picture below.

 

Good Luck.

Not sure if this has anything at all to do with it, but even if it doesn't fix it, download "Download Accelorator - DAP" - it is A LOT faster than the standard windows download software.Jack

Is encryption enabled on the wireless? would that slow it down at all?If so, reset the router and the wireless connection to not be encrypted.

the most common cause of slowness in wireless routers would be your just dont have a strong signal strength from your current location. to test, move the receiver close to the router and see if it improves, otherwise its either: the host your downloading from, your using a proxy, or other people on your network using bandwidth.

Hi hotboi_dee,

If you are in slow speed connection plan,try to upgrade to latest plan.To upgrade,you can contact your Internet Service Provider(ISP).
To increase internet speed,you can follow these manual steps to increase the speed of the internet.
1)Install latest versions of browsers like Opera,Google Chrome,or Mozilla Firefox and use it.
2)Avoid using flash and watching online videos while downloading.It may affect the speed and your internet downloading speed may get very slow.
3)You can use Anti-Virus ,internet security protection to protect the pc from malwares and viruses.
4)Clear cache and delete cookies after using the browser.
5)Reset the modem and router daily once or whenever your internet speed will get slow.
To check the internet downloading speed and uploading speed I would suggest the site Scanmyspeed.com .

It is possible to make an Internet connection seem faster than it really is by caching data and by prefetching data. Data can be cached by means of using a proxy server. Polipo is a pretty decent web proxy that can be used on a single-user system, though it can be used on a network with under a dozen users as well. The Apache web server has a module that can enable it to act as a proxy server, so that is another possibility. Both Polipo and Apache can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, and BSD systems. You can also install Squid, which is a full-scale proxy server that is typically found on Linux, BSD, and Unix systems. There is a build available for Windows as well, but I think it would be harder for you to get community support for the setup. It's easy to just create a virtual machine to run Linux if you don't want to dedicate a server to running it.

There are plugins available for Firefox to force your web browser to cache web pages too, though you might want to 'whitelist' the pages that the caching applies to or you would be served stale content from the Internet. Firefox and Chrome can probably also engage in predictive fetching of web pages, and Opera can probably do it too. The option to enable or disable it is usually present in the advanced settings or under-the-hood flags that are accessed through the about:config URL.
