Disabled internet adapter

I'll take 130Mbs Net access any day of the week. :E Since I've yet to see any wireless adapter able to continuously download/upload at that rate, though many claim to do far more, I'm assuming you mean 130Kbs?

You don't have to disable your wireless adapter to access the Net over Ethernet. WIN OS should be set to give priority to Ethernet by default, though you can change these settings. What kind of conflict were you having?

It's complicated... Internet comes into the main building...to a modem that splits the incoming in half. One for the office there and the other line runs underground 300 feet to a "switch" in the residential building... that splits the signal into 2 lines. One of those lines runs underground 90 feet to our router... and I have four other volunteers(all in RV's) getting their wifi from my router.

So I've split my signal into five different connections. Each with it's own signin. Plus I have a 5G signin.

AT times there area 22 devices hooked onto those six signins.
Everyone has a cell phone... ipad... ipod... laptop so it's easy to have 22 devices between all of us.

Before I ran a wire to my desktop, I was getting 72 Mbs on my laptop and 130 Mbs on my desktop. Not Kbs. With the wired in internet to my desktop I'm showing 1GB.

I am saying what I see in my internet local area connection status ... not the speed test numbers.

some times the router in the main building needs to be reset and sometimes my router needs to be rebooted or reset.

I suspect that the wifi card that I have installed inside my desktop is defective. It was easier to just plug in a cable than change out that card.

I just ran a speedofme test... Download was 6.28 Mbps upload was 1.85 Mbps

att speed test http://www.att.com/speedtest/
showed 4.79 Mbps download, 1.78 Mbps upload

The longer the cable is run... the weaker the signal. We are beyond lucky.
