See what you guys think of this....

I currently have a wireless setup at home, comprising of the following:

Belkin Wireless-G ADSL router (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=187337)

An old Asus Pundit-S, with a PCI Wireless card (Ralink I think) - No problems
An Iphone 3g - No problems
A HP Laptop - No problems.

PC in Sig (Vista x64), with a Netgear "Super-G" Usb Wireless thingy.

Now, the problem lies with the PC. I can sit for hours playing GRID/CODWaW with no issues, but the moment I try to download a "large" (anything over 4-5 meg) file, the downloads stall.

For example, the latest version of Itunes - forget it.
a 3meg firmware update for the router - 10 retries, and eventually downloaded it. (Have yet to see whether firmware sorts it, at work atm)
Youtube moves - They stop buffering after a while.

Thing is, speeds whilst browsing are generally fine...browser is Ie7.

Any ideas? Im struggling to see where the problem might be, though Im guessing:

  • Router
  • Netgear adaptor
  • IE7
  • other?
