OK, I have three computers connected to one router.

Computer 1 - Wired

Computer 2 - Acer Aspire One WiFi

Computer 3 - Desktop, WiFi Linksys v.4.2 PCI WiFi card with Hawking Tech. High Gain Antenna..

I've never had any problems with the desktop that's connected wifi... now, i ping google at 149ms... my Aspire does it in 24 and the wired one is 13...

Also, with the Desktop, Facebook doesn't work properly with Firefox, IE, or Chrome... The versions of each and the versions of the JRE are all the same on my Aspire, and they work fine with that.

Security is different on both... Kaspersky Internet Security on the desktop, McCafee and Windows Firewall on the Aspire.

and to add to this, from the desktop in question, i ran speedtest, and I average around 1.5mb download and 786kb upload (I have DSL, so it's about average)

    • Microsoft lets you have extra year of Windows 10 updates for free

      By Bern@rd · Posted

      I don't think even with these options, will people enroll in this program. I mean, it's certainly a welcome change for us power users, and I think many will take advantage of it. But like the article says, Windows 10 remains the dominant OS, and I don't think this is going to change in 4 months time. Having mainstream Windows 10 users have to jump through hoops just to continue to receive updates is going to be an unnecessary hassle. The only remedy is for Microsoft to extend support for 4 more years, giving users enough time to just upgrade their PCs as the hardware naturally ages out.
    • Windows 11 gets fixes for stuck Windows Update

      Windows 11 gets fixes for stuck Windows Update by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft started a gradual rollout of KB5062324, a small configuration update for Windows 11 version 24H2. The goal is to address an issue with a stuck Windows Update, which is unable to finish scanning for available updates. Microsoft is rolling out KB5062324 gradually. You can get it by heading to Settings > Windows Update and toggling "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available." After that, restart your computer and check for available updates. Windows Update should properly detect KB5062324 and download it to fix issues with update detection. In the support document for KB5062324, Microsoft added that the bug could be mitigated by restarting Windows. This will get Windows Update unstuck and allow the system to finish update scanning. Users can also get a permanent solution by downloading KB5058499 (the May 2025 non-security update) or a newer release. Note that the bug only affects computers with Windows 11 version 24H2. Older releases are unaffected. Windows 11 version 24H2 still has a few known issues awaiting their fixes. For example, there are compatibility issues with the sprotect.sys driver, which causes apps to stop responding, audio output losses on PCs with Dirac Audio, apps hanging when using cameras, and more. You can find the complete list of known issues in Windows 11 version 24H2 here. Speaking of updates and fixes, Microsoft today released a non-security update for Windows 10. KB5061087 (build number 19045.6036) is now available for download, and it includes various fixes for the Start menu, USB printers, incorrect Windows version reporting, and more. The update arrived minutes after Microsoft announced that the Extended Security Update program would be free for Windows 10 users. Also, the company recently revealed its plans to pull legacy drivers from Windows Update.

      Corporate America at its finest. As if the long history of unreliable vehicles coming from American manufacturers wasn't bad enough already, we're given yet another major reason to never purchase ANY America-made vehicle...
