My home has 3 computers in it. All connected by a Linksys 4 port wireless router. The main computer that has the router itself goes at roughly 150 KB a second. However the others, well the one I use at least, runs at only 6, to 12, KB a second. It uses a Linksys wireless adapter to connect, is there any way to speed up my internet connection? I'm tired of being kicked from online games or disconnected when using this computer and its slow speed, and it isnt a firewall blocking it, as all the computers have the same brand of firewall.

I forgot to mention, that I'm unable to either get a cable for wired connection (30 foot cable and nowhere to run it that wouldn't cause a problem. Also i cant move the computer closer.

you simply cannot beat or get the thoroughput of a hard wire connection

properly in very just about all communities, your internet is incredibly plugged into some field on or close on your highway. whilst all and sundry plugged into that field attempt to max out their internet connections you're able to journey some slower internet. As on your laptop, it does have something to do with it. Your internet browser has to load, and your laptop runs it. Viruses could additionally decelerate your laptop and soak up a great variety of your internet connection, making it look sluggish

The pc itself may be old and slow.
If it is connected wirelessly, try to run a wired connection and see if it is faster. If so, the wireless signal is not strong enough; try moving it closer to the router.
