download speed slower than upload speed

[kmumaw]

I have a computer running Windows 7 with abysmal download speeds (under 1 Mbps), but with upload speeds in the 7-8 Mbps range when using the wireless.


When it's connected via a cable, my download speed is about 40-50 Mbps.


The router is not the problem, as my wireless Xbox streams HD shows from Netflix.


For what it's worth, here's my computer's config info:

Anybody have suggestions for how to fix this? I've tried updating the wireless card's driver, but that did nothing.
