How does a router work?
I ask because I have a 3548 kbps downstream DLS connection. I can download at 350 mbps which is full speed. My wife connected to the other port on the same router can also download at 350 mbps at the same time.
How can this be if the limit on the phone wire it capped at 3548 kbps? Seems if we both try to download at the same time, we each should not get faster speeds than 175. How can a router do this?
If a router can do that.. and we know it can.. then why can't I get 700 mbps downloads when only I am downloading? Why can't I double my speed just like my speed and my wife's speed amounts to doubling the speed anyway?
