I recently built my own pc and everything has been working perfectly since i built it about 2 weeks ago. for the past 2 days my internet download speed has been abnormally low. I should be getting more than 20mbps down, and yet im getting around 0.30 mbps down. i am on a wireless connection but i dont think that is the problem since other devices on the network get the 20mbps just fine. I am running windows 8 and i am thinking the issue is with that. i have looked through some solutions people have posted online with no success if anyone has any suggestion i would really appreciate the help.

Upgrade the drivers for your network adapter? If the adapter isn't built in to the motherboard, have you tried a different adapter just to rule out it isn't just a piece of hardware?

The last complaint about wireless suddenly getting very slow was because the adaptor was loose in the PCI-e slot and needed to be tightened up. I have no idea if this is a PCI-e NIC, USB or built into the board NIC, I would think homebuilt would either be PCI-e or USB.

Thanks for rep Zenshai,
