Hello everyone,
I am having a predicament that really only affects me.
First I should give some background. We have Comcast internet and normally get around 20+mbps download and around 5-6 Mbps upload, with a top download speed of 27 Mbps. My desktop is hooked to the router with the use of a power line (Ethernet over power cables). Now for whatever reason-(this started on Saturday)-my download speed has dropped too 1-2 Mbps, while my ping and upload speed have remained the same. Now to isolate the router/modem, on a desktop that is hooked up directly to the router (no power line) it gets a solid 20+Mbps. I have also switched the ports which the two Ethernet cables are connected too and I did not receive a change in speed. This puts me at the position to assume either 1 or 2 of the Ethernet cables (first one is router to power line adapter, second is from power line adapter to my desktop) or its my desktop.
I also tested the Ethernet connection on my laptop (which may not have up-to-date drivers but who cares) and it received the normal amount of ping and upload as normal but it got around 5 Mbps download. This puts me to think that my integrated network on the motherboard is not working correctly. If that is the case what is the best price to performance ratio card?
So could someone help me regain my download speed?
