One out of 3 of my house computers has a poor internet connection?

Question

There are three computers in my house that all connect to our linksys router downstairs and an ethernet cord runs to mine and my brothers computer. Both the downstairs computer & his work fine and have a clear internet connection.

My computer on the other had has a clear internet connection everytime i have tested it and for some reason my internet has been slow the past couple of days and I play an online game WoW (world of warcraft). Friends ive talked to on the game have said that my internet connection might be causing the massive amounts of lag i get everytime i log in as of late. And seeing as to how my internet has slowed down on this computer i assumed it had to be the connection somewhere either with the router or what not..

It is only mainly slow around 6-10 pm and then it seems to fix itself could it be a problem with my router or modem?

Answer 1

I don't think that it is a problem with either. During that time of the day, the internet itself is very busy, and you are using a website that it constantly using your internet bandwidth. Since you say it fixes itself I don't think that it is your router or your modem. You might want to look into getting a faster router, or getting faster internet from your ISP if you really need the speed.
