I have 2 computers with one internet (dsl) connection, when i just run one computer it runs very fast, but when i run them together using my wireless netgear router they both run EXTREMELY slow, sometimes worse than dial up (especially when we play games in yahoo). Does anyone know why this is or what we can do about it? I seen something on here about networking without a router, would that possibly make it faster? or maybe there is some kind of free online accelrator that would do the trick. Obviously i dont know much about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx

Help the folks that respond to your post, by adding a little more information.
What internet provider are you using?
Whay make and model router/modem are you using?
It may not be the router/modem, but limitations on bandwidth from the provider.
Have you contacted their customer support and asked them, or searched on their web site faq? Often this yields either a response or faq that suggests fixes.
If you are using DSL that comes into your house via a regular phone line, you need a method of connecting to your computer. The modem/router does this for you.
