I'm trying to get better internet connectivity in my detached garage/shop. =
First tried hardwired cat-5 but it was right at the limit for distance and=
slow and intermittent. Next went with power line adapters and while they =
were consistent in connection...speed was still slower than I wanted...
=20
This Christmas my s-I-l gave me a Orbi mesh system and we installed it with=
no problem putting one satellite box IN the garage and the master box sitt=
ing on top of my fiber modem hard wired to the modem.
=20
I have 300mb fiber from ATT and the speed is great (350-375 MB) to hardwire=
d pc and around 140 mb on ipad in the house or in the garage. =20
I have an older laptop I use in the shop (Toshiba Satellite L875D-st210) wh=
ich is my primary shop machine. Best speed I can get is 30-40 mb.
while the tablet sitting next to it is 140 mb+.
=20
I'm=20
wondering if the old laptop has a wireless card that is old and slower? =20
Everything I knew about computers is old and obsolete after 20 years out of=
the=20
business. Can someone with current knowledge tell me if the problem is wit=
h an=20
antiquated card in the laptop and is there a way to get better wireless spe=
ed=20
on the laptop? or is that just the nature of wireless nowadays? BTW the la=
ptop=20
is running windows 7 with no options to run win 10.
