What is wrong with my computers internet connection? The computer that I am having trouble with was built about 5 months ago and for some reason I have not had the greatest of luck with internet connection. I have a laptop that is running Windows 7 in the same room that has no problem reaching the 16 mbps that this computer should be getting so I know it has nothing to do with where the computer is located. I have come to the point where it is either WIndows 8 that is the problem or my router/modem is the problem. I have gone through about 5 wireless adapters and they all fail to reach the advertised speed that we pay for.

Can someone please walk me through this and help me solve my wireless connectivity issue.

Below is the results of running ipconfig /all
