[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1481270, member: 245480"] It's probably because the router is broadcasting a mixed signal. That can cause very slow download speeds while leaving your upload speeds fine. Open your router prefrences by opening your browser and typing 192.168.1.1 in the url (if it's a linksys router) and enter your username and password when the popup window appears (note: different router brands use different IP addresses for the router prefrences so please consult your owners manual or do a quick google search). In wireless settings next to broadcast mode, select "wireless G only" then click "save settings" at the bottom. Now try a speedtest again. I had a relative with the exact same problem as you and that's what I did to fix it and fix it it did. [/QUOTE]
