    Wired network slowing down and conflicting with wireless
    « on: April 22, 2014, 06:58:06 PM »
    I have uverse internet going to a wireless router. On my desktops I have wireless adapters and I also have a wired network between them. Recently my internet was running slow and I tried a tracert to google and found somehow the trace is going first to my wired network and then fubaring on my wired network. The number of steps before it goes to wired is random.  One thing to note I changed the "metric" on my wireless to be higher then wired (checking now I see wired is "automatic metric" and wifi is 20). Below is the tracerts, one with both wired and wifi on and the other with just wifi. I'm just keeping my wired network off for now but would love to figure out why this is happening.

    Define slow.
    A ping of local network does not prove anything.
    When I ping computerhope.com I get about 100ms  on a high-speed DSL connection.
    What did you expect?
