IPad substantially slows download speeds

[Luvntravln]

Why?

I have a router into which is plugged my wireless USB internet dongle.

When ONLY my computer is connected and I am doing a download the transfer rate is 2-300kb/sec.

BUT, when the iPad is on and connected the speed is reduced to - sometimes - less than 10kb/sec.

Why?

You may need to provide more info. What kind of USB "dongle" are you using? Are you using the computer and iPad at the same time? Are ther any other wireless devices that may be interfering?
