grounded Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hi. Is this wireless or via ethernet cable? I had a similar situation and found the wireless card in one machine was acting as a bottleneck. When I upgraded it, the speed leapt up. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 yes a lot of newer machines run 2 wifi connections in parallel to speed up the internet, 54 mb/s per channel, x2 = 100mb/s, the wifi hardware on the older machine may only be able to run1 channel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
