I have a new computer with inbuilt Wifi on the motherboard
For months I used the Wifi option and found it was okay for accessing the net but VERY SLOW accessing my NAS.
So I went into the UEFI BIOS and disabled Wifi and plugged in the network cable. Everything is peachy, my write speed to my NAS is about 10 times faster than it was under Wifi BUT....
I still appear to have the Wifi symbol in my notification area. It doesn't seem active but it set me to wondering....
Can I re-enable the Wifi in BIOS and have the "wired" connection too? Will this work? Will it be faster?
My motherboard has an Intel AND a Realtek network ports (and the Wifi). Can I run another cable to the other network port and use ALL 3 and get a really fast connection/throughput?
I had 2 network ports on my old W7 system too but never thought to use them both
Should I ask this question in a hardware section rather than General Support?
Curious
