    HP Laptop running same speed on ethernet cable as Wireless


    Hi Everyone
    I wonder if anyone can help me please.
    Make HP g56 Laptop
    ISP Virgin Media Cable 150 meg connection
    Router Virgin Media Superhub
    Norton Intternet Security
    No other protection is turned on

    I have two computers connected to the Hub

    My wifes computer fujitsu 4 core runs at the true 150 meg speed with wired ethernet cable (Perfect)

    My laptop however runs at half speed with wired ethernet connection. In fact it runs at the same speed as it does when connecting via wireless to the same superhub. about 75 megs.

    I have posted an ipconfig image if this is any help.

    Kindest Regards

    Anthony George

    Hi .... You have to remember it is up to 150mb ... You will not get this speed all the time ..

    Have you just got Virgin Installed lately if so it takes some time to settle ...

    Also does your Network Adapter support the top speed ? ...


    As for wireless and Lan connections they can be the same speed with Virgin ... Though you should be getting more than 75mb at times ....


    Virgin Media - Extremely fast broadband speeds
