Local WiFi fast, "Internet WiFi" slow

OK bear with me I'm dealing with a strange phenomenon. And before you disregard my problem as "bro Wifi is just slow get an Ethernet cable lol" hear me out please!

I've got a new router, has the latest and greatest 802.11ac capabilities. And I have a 100Mbps down 10Mbps up DSL connection.

The WiFi is great. I can transfer files between my Notebook (Wifi) to my Desktop (Ethernet) at over 30MegaBYTES per second (~240Mbit/s). Even between my Notebook and another Notebook on the same network.

However, accessing anything from the internet, the WiFi is a lot slower. Obviously the upper limit would be my internet connection (100Mbps), but I'm not even getting close that. Sometimes I get 40Mbps, sometimes only 10. I tried at least 10 different speedtests, downloading files from high speed servers, downloading from Steam, it's all the same.

The internet connection itself is good, too, though, because via Ethernet I get the full 100Mbps, all the time.

Edit: Its a TP link router with OpenWrt/LEDE btw

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
