I've finally got around to doing something about this. Moving the computer was out of the question, so I got a 20m patch cable and connected with that. I am now getting in excess of 160 Mbps, so it looks as though the problem is with the wireless adapter.

Yes, my router and computer are on different circuits and the wiring is not as good as it could be. I think I'll try moving the computer first, just to establish where the problem is. My computer is reporting the signal strength as good, which is why I suspect the problem is in the computer.

My router hasn't got external antennae, but my adapter has. I've tried changing the positions of these but it makes no difference. I think you're right; I'll have to try moving my machine upstairs and making a direct connection.

No, this has been going on for some time. It isn't physically possible to take the machine upstairs. But if it was distance, etc., why does my phone give me c150 Mbps when it's sitting next to the desktop machine?

Hi, I am only getting about 40 Mbps whereas I should be getting nearer 150 Mbps. My phone, on the same network and sitting next to my desktop is getting close to 150 Mbps. Using a LAN cable is out of the question as the router is upstairs. I've run every malware test possible and there is...

[SOLVED] [Win7SP1 x64] sfc /scannow reporting faults

Re: sfc /scannow reporting faults July's monthly update kept giving me a BSOD. Unfortunately, although it said it had created a dump file I couldn't find it in the location that it specified so I ran sfc /scannow to see if I had a problem but it hasn't helped. Thanks for checking my cbs log.
