i have a 1.5 mbps connection. however, when trying to connect to the internet using the cable directly plugged into the onboard network adapter from the router, i can get no internet access at all. and that is only the case with the cable going to my room. I have changed cables and changed ports on the router. i have also tried using a network adapter. nothing helped. right now i am currently connected wirelessly by using my android phone's tethering capabilities. but my speed is only getting around 25 kbps. and the speed i get with my laptop is the same when it is wireless. however my two brothers are connected with a direct plugin to their computers and they get full speed. i cant understand why my cable wont work with my computer or laptop. and i cant understand why my internet speed is so slow wirelessly. Please can someone answer one of those questions . i will appriciate any help at all.
