Wireless Internet Connection question

[tmho]

I started to use wireless internet connection recently. I found that the signal is the same all the time. I have not change locations of the wireless router and the PCI wireless card. Usually the signal is "good" in the day time and change to "low" in the evening. It seems that in the internet peak hours (evening) the signal is low and the speed in downloading is slow as well. Is this normal?

Does your isp throttle your speeds during peak times? I have heard of this before (from a UK isp if memory serves me correctly)

Also ewanog may have a point, do you have your wireless network secured? It may be someone else is using your bandwith via an unsecured hotspot

Thank you for all your reply.

I do find that quite a lot of people is using wireless internet connection. Maximum is 8 and minimum is 4. The wireless internet connection is not secured.

Oh thats not good. You need to add a password to your network by going to your networking software and doing so.

It's also advisable to change your network name to something other than the default network names such as "linksys" or "MShome".
