Ok .. well it is pretty simple, maybe. I have found that my internet sometimes slows .. to like 5 Mb/s, where normally it is around 18 Mb/s.
The solution .. to uninstall the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver from device manager and reboot. My internet .. all of a sudden goes back to the normal 18-20 Mb/s speed.
The driver is the Microsoft Driver .. ver 8.1.510.2013 dated 2013-05-10
Looking for thoughts. Nothing else changes .. and my internet speed is instantly tripled.
I am using Speedtest.net to measure my internet speed.
EDIT .. I downloaded a new driver ver 8.18.621.2013 from ASUS and it was slightly newer. But my performance was worse ... and I removed it and rebooted and my internet speed increased substantially.
