Sorry I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that. I'm somewhat new to the forums so sorry if I messed up. Another thought I had was that Steam could be getting hammered and that's why the op has a slow connection. So I started a download of one of the games I purchased during the sale and I'm averaging 3. Have you checked to make sure that you're in the correct region? Have you tried downloading from sites other than Steam?
You probably still want to test out your local LAN speed. AnonymouseUser said:. Well this helps, but also confuses. Last edited: Jan 6, Now it's not showing me the test results. Try the free version download 4. It is odd that your local upload is a lot faster than your local download however it's still plenty fast enough to do fast downloads over steam. What do you currently show as test results from speedtest.
Here are my results. That's way too fast even for Gigabit network. Does this seem more likely? Those are some pretty poor results although they're at least more realistic. Would it be possible to hook your PC directly into your wireless router by moving it and plugging it in via CAT 5 or temporarily running a long cable?
Also, you do have both powerline adapters plugged directly into the wall outlets and not surge protectors, right? Well that's embarrassing. Well I think we've narrowed down the issues that are causing both your wireless issues and the powerline issues at this point. If your PC is down in the basement and the other powerline adapter is up two floors then the connection is likely has to go across the V mains and a fair amount of distance.
Engineer, in the other thread, recommended installing a bandpass filter but that's not something I would recommend that you do unless your parents know how or know somebody that can install one. Your wireless issues likely stem come from interference from building materials since you're in the basement.
Do you recall if you were connecting on wifi via the 2. Lipia bidhaa unapoipata mkononi popote ulipo. Kazi safi yenye ukweli na uhakika. KSh 1, KSh 2, Get it delivered wherever you are in Kenya.

Skip to content. Unscrew one of your phone jacks in the wall to see what kind of wire is behind it. If your house was built or renovated after the year , chances are you have cat5, cat5e, or cat6 wires and there should be labels printed on the casing of the wires.
All those phone lines terminate somewhere and you have to find that panel or box. Make sure the cable casings all say cat 5 or 6 on them. My phone lines were in a bundle with a few wired to each other.
One of the wires was from my home fiber connection into the house. Otherwise, no you can 't connect to the phone jack directly. Secondly, is Ethernet the same as phone line? Ethernet network cables are typically used to interconnect computers and network devices such as hubs, switches and routers. Ethernet cable vs phone cable, they look alike, and both send and receive information. All those phone lines terminate somewhere and you have to find that panel or box.
Make sure the cable casings all say cat 5 or 6 on them. Pay an electrician to get separate the bundle and convert each cable to ethernet.
No, it has 4 wires, 2 pairs. Additionally the wires in a phone cable are not twisted to prevent cross-talk. Dial-up Internet service uses regular telephone lines to access the Internet. Because of this, you can use any old telephone jack in your home to connect your computer to the Internet at any time, so long as you're using dial-up and have a dial-up Internet service provider.
When you plug one of the receiver units into any electrical outlet in your home, you have an immediate phone jack. Although this allows you flexibility in where you plug in your network equipment, it doesn't eliminate the need to connect the DSL modem to the phone jack and to connect the wireless router to the modem. LAN is a generalized term to differentiate between networks covering large areas.
For the person having zero knowledge about the two- Ethernet is an IEEE term for wiring configuration having 8 pin connectors, while LAN cable is for connecting with router, modem, switch, etc. Just plug one into your wall in the room with your router, connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable, and plug the other one in the wall next to your far away devices.
Note that you need to plug them right into the wall ; you can 't plug them into a power strip or extension cord. In short, your router creates a network between the computers in your home, while your modem connects that network—and thus the computers on it—to the internet.
