I realize that this may appear obvious, but it is not.

I have two computers connected wirelessly through a Netgear router. When only computer A is connected, I get download and upload speeds that are perfectly normal. When computer A and computer B are connected, the speed on computer B is great (even above the amount for which I'm paying my ISP) but the download speed on computer A drops to nearly zero.

When only Comp A is connected
Download 4000 kbps
Upload 1000 kbps

When Comp A and Comp B are connected
Comp A:
Download 300 kbps
Upload 550 kbps (yes, upload is higher than download)

Comp B:
Download 9500 kbps
Upload 4000 kbps


My question is: How do I get Comp A to work properly while Comp B is connected?

(This is not a question about P2P or Torrent downloading. This is general Internet connection speed)
