Easiest answer abesnting necessary data:
Distance = speed. Period. Closer to the source = better speed.

What kind of connection do they share? DSL or Cable? How do they share the connection? Wired or Wireless?

This is important for proper diagnostics.
The ONLY stupid question is the one you dont ask
