The modem I use is a Zoom ADSL 6+, I purchased myself. Although after reading various
posts I realized I havent tweaked the settings for this computer yet. I will try
this later tonight and hope it helps. When it comes to large downloads, Id say the
limit is about 3megs, anything larger is almost a 100% fail. The router/modem is
wireless and the laptops seem to work ok when they connect thru network. Firewall/Anti-Virus
are Avast/Zone Alarm.
