2 wireless computers on 1 modem and router?
Will it make one of them slower than the other?

are they different brands of wireless network adapters?
typically, different brands respond slightly different to certain routers. I had the same issue within my network but once i upgrade to a better product (wireless nic), speed was where it should be.....

Both computers would have to be 1. wired (not wireless) and 2. downloading content a significant deal of speed for you to see speed drop. (avg users don't download to there fullest bandwith possible)

the newer computer is a wireless G card (up to 54mps) and the older computer is a wireless B(up to 24-28) which makes sense as wireless g networks are at most 2 years old.
To improve speed, buy a wireless G card for the older system.

Re: 2 wireless computers on 1 modem and router?
Thanks for the advice. The older computer is for my daughter to play kiddie games on and my DH to play adult games (poker) on so Im not going to spend money on that!
