here is the situation , i have a desktop pc in my office which is few rooms away from the att broadband router/router 2wire . i have dsl uverser att dsl internet with 25 mbps download and 3 mbps . i have wirelss internet adapter that came with the desktop however it is slower cause the modem is few rooms away and i dont get the full bandwith.
Of course my desktop comes with built in pci network adpater for ethernet. so i ran a cat 5 cable through the attic to my office computer. the speed was perfect. or 15 minutes minutes after i connect the ethernet cat5 cable the internet bandwith both wireless and wired crashes in my house from 25 mbs to 1 if not less . i thought it was the cable so i went and bought a brand new cat6 cable all done with the rj45 bits on it and ran it still i had the same problem.
then i went and bought a brand new dlink gigabit desktop pci network adapter. i disabled the built in adapter that came with the computer and installed the new one. my friend said that should do it cause maybe the built in network adapter is malfunctioning.. sure enough 15 minutes later my bandwith was reduced again
i connected my laptop through the same cat6 cable and worked on it for few hours and the bandwith stayed blazing speed the whole time. right now i activated my wireless portion of my desktop and im using the internet that way with no problem. what could be the actual problem guys? my pc has no viruses as well .
i don't think the length on the cat6 can kill the bandwith . it is 50 feet. can it ? it didnt kill the bandwith when i hardwired my laptop to it. i also connected ps3 and played online for 30 minutes and my bandwith stayed perfect all around the house
