Another issue we had when we updated our computers to Windows 8 was that the drivers for Netgear WG111v3 WiFi USB adapter didn’t work. We had an issue with WAMP on development server on Windows 8. We recently updated our computers to Windows 8. I also ran a complete Malwarebytes and it found a malware called Bubbles which has been removed.īoth Firefox and internet explorer are up to date.Article updated, please go to the bottom of the article to read the update. The Speed this afternoon seems to be about 3 -5 bps with task manager running and about 8Mbps without. Is it possible that something isn't appearing or showing as 0% when it's not? However they both rarely totalled anywhere near 100% (there was a lot of 0%) as far as I could see as they changed although the total at the bottom was 100% most of the time and rarely dropped below 70% until the speed test was finished. It was better because I have no addons with ie. Tried it with ie instead of Firefox and ie11 used up to 39%. There were a couple of 1 -3% such as Avast. I have been experimenting and Firefox uses up to 51%, Task Manager 11 - 18%, Plugin Container about 6%, BrStdwnd (Brother printer monitor) 5% and flashplayer about 6%. I had forgotten that way to get task manager. PS I tried and failed to close ticket 94687657, so if someone can do that it will help your stats. Any suggestions? Would the N300 help get a faster wireless connection than the Netgear WG111v3? I had intended to do that anyway in a few months as I find having only 3 port restrictive.

Its been suggested that the N300 problem might be solved if I upgrade the router.

If not I will put a new PC on my wishlist! If not I will see if there is a faster processor for my motherboard.
I have just reviewd with task manager and the CPU is running at 100%. Something needs upgraded but I don't know what. I tested it on a laptop and it saw the router so there is nothing wrong with it!! It then slowed to 9.87Mbps so it is not very consistent.Ĭannot understand why the N300 adaptor didn't see my Plusnet router when it saw a neighbours BT Home hub. This improved things and download is between 8 and currently the highest ever at 15.25 download Mbps and 19.16 on a second test.!! Second test Download 0.23Mbps Upload 0.6Mbps Ping 97.38ms
I tested wirelessly with BT Speedtesterĭownload Mbps 2.87 Upload o.84 Ping 154.50ms I then disabled the Realtek Ethernet adaptor and got 6Mbps. I uninstalled the new N300 and reinstalled the WG111v3. I dragged the PC up to the attic and connected it wired. The new adaptor couldn't find my router, even when it was within sight. So I bought a Netgear N300 WiFi USB Mini Adaptor and uninstalled the WG111v3. Network Adaptor Netgear WG111v3 Wireless-G USB adaptorĪs the PC is used wireless I thought the reason for the slow speed was the Netgear Adaptor which I got with my old Netgear non fibre modem.

Last Thursday an OpenReach engineer visited and my speed went from about 2Mbps to the advertised 20Mbps. I upgraded to fibre a month ago and two days later lost all service.
