Barfy Posted 7 April, 2011 Share Posted 7 April, 2011 My desktop pc has recently struggled to connect to my router and the internet and when it does the speeds are really slow - speedtest.net reporting as slow as 0.54mbps. However when I connect a laptop (either home or work) they both connect without a problem, and report speeds (at the same time of day) ten times faster than the desktop. I've run AVG free and spybot S&D on the desktop and nothing was detected beyond a couple of adware things, and the only thing installed recently on the computer was Steam to play FM2011. Can anyone suggest things I can try to diagnose where the problem may be? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barfy Posted 7 April, 2011 Author Share Posted 7 April, 2011 ok, in my defence, I'm not well... however I thought I'd check the wireless card was seated properly (again) which it was... however this time I noticed that the screw-in aerial was cross threaded so not connected to the card... oddly enough now that it is screwed in properly it's all working fine! So if someone wants to delete this, please feel free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
