Default Whats wrong?
I recently brought my computer in to work and hooked it up to a Linksys WRT150N router and two other guys are hooked up to the same router via lan cables like me. Well just out of curiousity I ran an internet speed test and my computer ran a 8688 download and 2505 upload. the other two ran right at 15987/2686. Why is my computer slower than the other two? I did have to use 50ft of lan cable to hook up to the router. Do you think the longer cable slowed me down? Thanks

Yes, more than likely

Well that sucks I could of bought the 25ft and hooked it up. but I opted for the 50ft just to have extra and the guy at Staples assured me there would be no lost speed from the length of the cable.
