OK so here's the situation. I've been having a lot of issues with the internet connection on my PC. It's a pretty high spec PC that I bought for photo and video editing, and it (mostly) runs great except for the internet connections.
I can provide specific details if necessary, but to make a long story short this particular PC has had constant connection and speed issues with a PCI wifi card and two different USB wifi adapters, on 4 different routers and 2 different internet connections in different cities.
I'm now using a 300Mbps USB wifi adaptor, getting full signal, and it takes me 2 minutes to dowload a single 8MB photo.
Speedtest.net says my speeds are 1.17 Mbps down and 0.15 Mbps up, which isn't great but in reality I'm not getting close to even those mediocre speeds.
So, is there something in the computer itself, independent of the network hardware, that could cause this? I'm at a real loss here.
