I have this setup myself and I don't really notice any drop down in speed when someone downloads.

 

[aryan_6668]

o really?
thanks for the info man.

Np, I hope it works out for you too.

If someone you're sharing with is downloading a huge file, you may notice a drop in speed. I would recomend a cable set up, as it's a bit more stable than a wireless set up.

For my wireless has been very stable. I've had no problems with it at all.

As for the speed as long as you have a quick connection you won't experience much of a drop. I'm on 2mbps.

Sometimes you get lucky

It all depends how many walls/floors you want the signal to go through.

Cable is obviously going to be better though.

Cable would be more reliable and if its only 2 users then that would be best.
I have 4 computers in use 2 up and 2 down stairs so obviously cable isn't really appropriate in my case.

Yeah, that would be a mess of cables unless you drilled through floors and walls!

As long as your computer is the one connected to the router all the others can be wireless then it won't affect you at all.

Drilled floors and walls, no thanks!

Wireless is quite stable if really huge downloading/uploading isnt going on!

If you or your siblings intend to use it just for big download/upload stuff, I would not recommend wireless and the speeds would go down for everyone. Use cable connections instead. I do that while downloading. I have a wireless laptop and whenever I want to download big files onto my laptop, I use Ethernet connections from my laptop to my desktop through the wireless router!

I've downloaded big stuff and I get speeds of 200kb/sec. This is through wireless too. The other connections in my house were still very stable. May be it is the speed of your connection?

What Mb Broadband are you on? I'm on 2.2 MB but I only ever get up to about 65kb a second stable, when I download from Firefox it starts at about 200 and then just goes down in a matter of half seconds to 60kbs... My phone line can't handle it?

i would say cable is more stable as i have cable and im able to download/acess on anything i would like
