    Internet- Fast on mac and ps3, slow on pc!

    my PC, Macbook and PS3, all within a 2 meter stretch are all different speeds on my home network, all are wireless.

    My PC is the slowest, 802.11g adapter - youtube doesn't buffer well to begin with, freezes for a few seconds then buffers fine, web pages take a while to load. Keep getting disconnects and high latency in BF3 and SWTOR

    My Mac is on the desk, next to my pc, prolly 802.11n - Youtube loads straight away. Pages loads super quick

    My PS3 is on the floor under my TV which is prolly 802.11n as well. Never had a disconnect playing online.


    I've tried port forwarding, firewall off - both router and PC, restarting router, restarting PC...

    It cant be an ISP problem seeing as my Mac and PS3 work fine, but I am on BT Broadband and using the Homehub 3
    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    First I would upgrade your PC's network card to a wireless 300N. Then I would start trying to diagnose a potential software or hardware related issue assuming the issue persists.
