    Internet on laptop fine but on desktop terrible
    « on: August 04, 2014, 11:46:01 PM »
    The internet on my desktop is terrible at the moment. Some days it will work well weirdly but most of the time pages are timing out or take 60 seconds to load. The connection all so seems to come and go. On my laptop though the internet is fine using the come connection.

    I am using WIFI on both.

    I can't even get speedtest.net to load on my desktop so can't tell you the speed it is getting. On my laptop though it is reading 2.48mb/down and 0.78mb/up.

    I have tried the usual things, restarting my desktop, restarting the router, unplugging things and putting them back together.

    Under device manager network adapters I see two listed.

    ASUSTek Wireless LAN Card
    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

    Not sure which my desktop is actually using.

    Can anyone help diagnose the problem / recommend how to fix my connection issues on my desktop?  ???

    Thanks  :)
