I'll try and keep this as short as possible.
I've recently upgraded my computer to a 6300, DS3 etc. After i'd built it, i had problems with the PCI network adapter i was previously using in my old system. After a bit of research i put it down to the fact that it was a 5v card and that the DS3 only supports 3.3v (something to do with the PCI version).
As i'm impatient and wanted my internet back i ran out to a well known computer store and bought a Belkin USB network adapter. All was fine and dandy and i was able to connect to our wireless network and surf the internet. However, since then my download speeds particularly when using P2P do not rise above 10kb/s. I am using Plusnet 2 MB (although not for much longer), port forwarding is correctly configured and general speeds when surfing is fine. I have tried using a number of different P2P applications, changing the port i am using, limiting my upload speed and changing all sorts of connection settings.
The strangest thing about it is the computer in our lounge is configured using exactly the same settings and download speeds are not perfect but somewhere around 100kb/s the only difference being the network adapter. Signal strength is strong at between 80 and 90% and before i upgraded my speeds were fine. Anyone got any ideas what be causing this and how it can be fixed?
