  • My laptop will not connect to the internet while charging?

    So I have an hp Pavilion m6-1035dx and my internet signal is terrible ONLY when my laptop is charging. I can plug my laptop in and watch my loading bars stop and my network utilization drop to 0%, if I still stay connected. The internet comes back when I unplug it. Any ideas?

  • Cannot utilize network?

    I cannot get my computer to use the amount of data that it needs. If I want to load a single video on youtube, I can get about 10 seconds per minute of buffering at 144p. My network utilization will be about .50%, if I'm lucky. If I open 10 videos, each of them will load about 10 seconds per minute, and my network utilization can go as high as 10%.

    Because of this, I know that I am ABLE to get a decent data transfer rate. My laptop or the network just won't do it. I have an hp Pavilion m6-1035dx PC with Windows 7 and an AT&T router. Any solution that does NOT involve Windows 8 would be best, including switching to Linux.

    A few days ago I was downloading a game and found that nothing changes when sitting right next to the router. It took about 5 hours for 10 GB.
