hello, you're looking to improve your home internet setup using your two desktops. one has three unused PCI slots while the other only has one. the reason these slots matter is because you have multiple internet cards that aren't very powerful on their own, but together they could help boost performance. you mentioned a few specific cards: HP Compaq AGERE 56K V.92 PCI FAX INTERNAL MODEM BOARD, RD01-D850, Linksys Lne100tx, and an internal PC modem card. if you need more details about these devices or your computers, just let me know. currently, internet speeds in your area are around 50-60 Mb/s, which is quite slow.
You live in an area with limited internet speed, typically around 50-60 Mbps. Trying to boost performance by combining network cards won’t help much. Even a standard 100Mbps Ethernet card will work well and keep your connection stable.
You possess two modems and one outdated network card. Your motherboard should include a LAN port; simply connect an Ethernet cable to the router and then to the motherboard. Disconnect the Wi-Fi adapter so it relies solely on the wired connection. If you're not receiving the advertised speed, contact your ISP.
It's strange when I run tests—they show me 1000 Mb/s, but I'm connected via Charter cable. The devices near the router still need power, especially with phones, the Xbox upstairs, and all the laptops around. Using Cat 6 Ethernet cables helps, but it seems the network isn't handling the load properly.
1. Which internet service provider package are you subscribed to? (Included download and upload rates)
2. What method do your two computers use to link to the network/internet? Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
3. You should not be instructed to turn off Wi-Fi, but to disconnect the Wi-Fi card from your desktop if it exists.
You're looking for quicker connections. If you're already getting the speed your ISP promises, consider upgrading your plan. For faster local access, what current speeds are you experiencing?
