Hey there guys, I built myself a PC last year and it's been running great, a few awesome users helped me out a bit with my PC.
My specs:
Router: Linksys E3200
Modem: ARRIS tm722
PC parts:
Motherboard:MSI Z77A-GD55 LGA 1155 Intel Z77
CPU: I5-3570k
Ram: Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB
PSU: HCP-750
GPU: 7870 Hawk edition
Anyways I'm starting to get annoyed with my internet, I currently have a 30mb down and 10mb upload plan but I'm only getting 13 down and 10 upload atm. I have both a modem and router and I am currently using a good powerline but apparently my electrical wiring system or w/e is older than most houses so I'm not getting the full results. There is no way at all that I can get a direct connection to my router/modem as my router is in my basement and my PC is two floors above. My mom doesn't want any wires around the house and my dad doesn't want to drill the wall so that's out of the question.
Is there any other solution that will help maximize my internet speed? Has anyone had experience with wireless cards, and would they make a big difference? Please suggest any solutions/wireless cards, money isn't a big issue as long as it's a reasonable price.
Thanks guys
