Hello,
I consider myself somewhat tech savvy however I have hit a wall when it comes to this issue. At University all Fall I used a network adapter USB (Linksys AE6000) with my PC and it worked splendidly. However when I returned home for the summer my PC sat unused in the closet for about 3 months. I cleaned the dust off of it this week and plugged it in. I am getting horrible internet speeds. Around 2Mbps according to Speedtest .net .
When using my iPhone on the wifi I tested to 45Mbps and when using the SAME USB Wifi Adapter with my laptop at the same desk my desktop is at I got 35Mbps. Why would my PC get a significantly worse connection using the same USB adapter from the same room in the house? I am only about 20 ft and one 2ft thick piece of drywall from my router so I should be fine?
I run Windows 7 Home Premium (Non-Genuine).
I have used Malwarebytes to virus scan and came up clean.
This PC used the same adapter last summer in the same location in the home at 40Mbps so something happened between 3 months ago and now causing my PC to seemingly not accept my internet.
When possible I will try my PC at another location to see if it does this with all wifi connections.
Any and All help would be appreciated! Thank you so much!
