2 laptops 1 router, different bandwidth.

[Ferrett]

Hi Guys

I have 2 laptops connected via sharemouse. Lets call 1 primary & the other secondary to distinguish. The secondary is
connected to a monitor & remains closed when I work. It is has a wireless connection. I am on a 20mb fibre line (up & down). The primary laptops speed is close to 20 mbps but the secondary is around 2.98 up & 15 down. They are both connected to the same router. Thanks

Connect both via ethernet cable and see if it still differs. If not then you can start fault finding the wifi.

Thanks Ponder. They are connected via ethernet. Any starting points for wifi fault finding?

So is the problem resolved with Ethernet ?

Nope it was always connected via ethernet as the sharmouse wont work without.

Don't tell Ashka about this thread...

The laptops are connected to each other via ethernet cable for sharemouse to work. They both connect wirelessly to the internet.

a 20mb fibre line & because I have a second machine attached I should expect 3mbps on the secend because 2 Internets 1 Cup?

Run Speedtest on each via cable first, then you can worry about the rest from there.

ShareMouse is a new yet similar cross-platform application which lets you share your mouse and keyboard with multiple computers on the network; both wired and wireless.

Seems strange that you need the lan cable Between the 2?

Thanks Ponder. They are connected via ethernet. Any starting points for wifi fault finding?

Either Way follow Ponder's advice and connect them both (at separate times, don't want one laptop pulling the line down while the speedtest is run on the other) to the router via ethernet and test the speeds again to verify if the issue is the wireless connection or not.

Is it possible sharemouse is the culprit here?

What happens if you connect each laptop physically (one at a time) to your router, disable wifi, and run a speedtest?

Then do the same test with wifi, but without sharemouse.

The repeat the above, but have both of them connected at once.

If you get better speeds without the sharemouse setup, then your problem is solved.
