Four users on four different computers? If the computers are regularly in use your probably just over-working your router? Unless you have a really good one designed to cope with that amount of usage..

If one of the computers is downloading something or running a download program where you are uploading i.e Limewire or uTorrent, that could be a big drag and swallow up alot of your connection.. But i'm no expert thats the best advice I can give..

thats your problem, norton is utter garbage, integrates with everything, is resource hungry and is generally utter sh*te. take it off and put avg free on, in fact take it off and put anything on and you`ll notice a difference.

Yeah Norton is utter crap just like dkw said. AVG free is superb and its free if you havent figured out already .

Agreed, Norton is sh*te. AVG is the way forward
