So i recently built a new computer back in December. I is awesome and super fast. The problem is when i run a speed test on it. It says that I'm only getting 2mb download? I know i should be getting more because if i test it with another computer i get 80mb download? how can i fix this? Also I am hardwired to the router.

A few questions.
- are you using the same speed test on both computers?
- are both computers using wired?

Assuming you answer 'yes' to both of the questions, try using a different Ethernet cable as it might be the issue. If the Ethernet cable isn't the issue, it might be the NIC. Try reinstalling the drivers.

Keep me posted.
