I got my ethernet cord today so I could use my big laptop since it runs faster and I am happier to be using it now. The wifi in it seems not to work for some reason so I went and bought a $6 ethernet cord on Amazon that was 10 feet so it would reach across the living room where I sit and now I am happy to be using it. I like my mini laptop but I will use that as needed and on the go. It runs a lot slower but I needed something to run a bit faster. I am good now.

Actually I used an app that was able to detect other users of WiFi in and around where I live in the general area and I found out that my immediate next door neighbor was using the same Internet Services Providers as I use and his modem, also a WiFi modem, in fact is overlapping mine in signal strength, so I do know for a fact that I need to go from being Wireless as I am right now to being Wired as I can connect to an Ethernet cable any time I choose and that will not only give me a stronger signal, it will prevent radio interference. But still, the signal overlap can slow down the bit rate so I might just call AT&T and tell them I need a new modem and ask for a free exchange if possible.

I have a 14 YO laptop which used to be so fast for me once, then suddenly one day, it decided to be sluggish (after being terrific for about 10 yrs). I wish I could fix it, really open it and give all the chips or whatever inside the machine a really good shake. Your discussion reminded me of how I often used a 16 feet ethernet cable whenever I used that laptop.
