This is what I have to do to maintain my internet. · 2:12am Mar 8th, 2017
Now that I've figured out the wonders of image hosting, I'd might as well show y'all how I'm connected to the internet half the time.
The computer in the image is the system I'm trying to transfer the file to. It has both an ethernet card and a wireless-g wifi card installed. The connection on both cards was dropped, so with a combination of a wifi extender to boost what little signal the Comcast router has, a wireball of ethernet cables, and an ethernet switch connecting the two computers and the wifi extender, I manage to get an average speed of ~56k-120kbps.
Decent enough to load a couple websites in a few seconds, disastrous for google docs and essay writing. I've got remote desktop running directly over the ethernet switch between the computers so I don't have to have multiple screens on, and it's set to use less than 8mbps at all times, even though Comcast supposedly gives us around 60 mbps according to the contract.
Either way, I'm posting this blog because apparently google docs doesn't like anything slower than 1mbps.
Also, for you people out there wondering where the heck the I/O shield on that PC is, it's a AT-class computer, from before the atx standard was finalized. Frankly, I'm surprised that the Nvidia geforce 5200fx in it is actually doing so well with the 166 mhz cpu being such a bottleneck.
