Hey guys and gals. I need help with an internet speed issue. I have ATT U-Verse and my wife's laptop runs great completely wireless. My Father in Law's on the other side of the house works great on a wireless adapter ( USB). My PC is slugish and slow loading web pages and often times out. I can play games etc. with no lag or anything so I don't think it is the PC itself but rather some part of the Internet service. ATT used some sort of jumper that pluggs into the wall and is connected to the modem to send the signal to the other room where there is another jumper that connects to my PC. The leds show solid signal but I don't know. Any ideas? I don't have a wireless adapter for my PC and the modem is too far away to run a cable.

Try borrowing the USB adapter from the laptop and see what the result is!
If it is a positive result consider buying one for your PC!

With your PC connected as is, do some ping tests
Code: Select all
ping -t www.google.com
ping -t "your modem's IP Address"
ping -t www.legitreviews.com
Let the ping command run for ~30 seconds or so (Press "CTRL+C" to stop the ping), then post back the results

Try this,
Delete all your browser temp files, then run "ipconfig /flushdns" via a command prompt.
Close and re-open a browser and test.
