I often(very often) lose ethernet connection on my pc. To combat it, i bought a second ethenet card, and a usb to ethernet connection. And i have a usb to wifi, but the wifi is dodgy, had to move the table directly over the router downstairs. Now quite often i can't get ethernet, so i switch between the three, sometimes it comes on, most it doesn't, but i always have wifi. Does that mean the landlord is controlling what i can connect to?

One doesn't work, but the other one I'm plugged in to, but it goes not working for days at a time, and even if i put a brand new cable into it it doesn't. Then it if the blue, it does. But the 3 sockets in my comp are the normal default one, and two extras i bought trying to fix the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
