Hi, I have a brand new Windows 8 Dell Inspirion laptop, and it has a horrible internet connection. I have not downloaded any new programs and I don't visit shady websites so I don't think it's a virus. Sometimes the internet is just moderately slow, and sometimes it just completely won't move, I will type in a web address and it will "think" about loading the page for 20 minutes before finally telling me it can't.
The problem is not with my wifi, I have another laptop that runs Windows 7 and have no issues with that one, or any other device on the network. It's just the windows 8 laptop.
I tried to google this and it seems like a common problem in new windows 8 machines. I am starting to think I should have just shelled the extra cash for a mac. I am almost entirely computer illiterate, so I had a very hard time following the various threads about this issue and I really need someone to walk me through it like I'm your great grandmother.
I have Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160
I tried updating the driver, but it tells me the driver is already up to date.
