Network Slowdown

Hey guys,

I was looking for some information in the internet but I could not find it and I am hoping some of you guys can shed a little light. I have a router that I use to connect my laptop (mac osx) wirelessly and I also connect my desktop (w xp) via ethernet connection. My question was that if my wired connection (ethernet) can slowdown my wifi connection. For example, Will opening a lot of programs (downloading heavy things, etc) in my wired connection affect my wireless wifi? Or are they unrelated? I am using one of the Netgear routers, and using DSL. Thanks a lot! :)

i can't really explain it, and my advice might be wrong, but, it doesn't matter how many programs you have open on the computer, but the more programs you have open that require the internet the slower the network / internet will be.
