Slow download speeds??

[oldnumber11]

I am connected to the internet via a cable modem through a Netgear 802.11b router. The router is right next to my notebook and I connect directly through ethernet to the router, but I have two other computers in the house which show good connectivity, i.e, 10Mbps, but the download tests show about "dial-up" rates. When I connect the notebook which is right next to the router to the wireless network, I get the same slow speed. My download tests show 3000 kbps for ethernet and 50 kbps for the wireless network. How do I troubleshoot this situation? Any suggestions??

Update the firmware in the router and reset it.

Can you give me a hint on doing this? Thanks,

Go to the Netgear website, download the latest firmware, and follow the instructions for updating it. Then follow the instructions for doing a reset, then reconfigure it. Everything you need should be on the website and/or in your manual, just look for it.

I don't have a clue what else to tell you because you did not identify the model.
