A Discussion About My Internet Speed At My Home...

EpicBWin11Fourm · May 7, 2022

(Sorry For The Mistakes That I Tried To Put The Images Here, My Internet Waves Are Not Having A Good Signal Here.)

I Was There At My Windows 11 PC Running On My Lenovo Yoga PC At This Time Multitasking With My iPad At The Same Time With My Internet Router & Connection Until It Stopped On May 3, 2022. Somehow, This Might Be A Real Problem, I Tried Resetting The Router Twice All Day, But It Doesn't Work Out As Much Of It. It's Because My House Is Surrounded By The Mountains And May Not Have Good Signal To Connect With And We Never Moved Our House To A New Place To Have Better Signal Because Of That, Now It's Stuck Right Here... Instead, The Internet Waves Bounces Off From The Mountains & May Not Have Better Signal Than It Supposed To Be.
Sadly, Everything That I Have Here Is Getting Infinitely Slow Here... Now I Can't View My Network Files, I Can't Convert Any PNG Icons To ICO Files, Can't Browse The Web From MS Edge, I Can't Open Offline Programs That Are Slower Than I Think (Possibly), I Can't Download Any Files From Any Websites That Are Slower & May Stop Loading Until An Error Occurs, And I Can't Watch & Listen To My Online Music & Videos Anymore. This Would Be Very Difficult To Load Anything Up For Example... I Tried Running The Troubleshooter & The Troubleshooter Couldn't Identify The Problem If The Internet Is Down... This Would Be Sad.

I also get... this website may be a phishing site, but it is Firefox telling me that, not my antivirus.
It would help if you told us what ISP, you have.

P.S.

To post an image... just save the image as .jpg or .png to your desktop, then do this...

What I got out of all that is your main problem is that your internet is down OR it's signal is so poor it is not strong enough to transmit and receive to and from the web. If you can not do any network related activity from both your Yoga and your ipad, it points directly to your network.

The mountains have always been there so answer this...have you EVER had a reasonably stable internet connection? If you have had at some point, consider the problem could also be your router.

The only way to prove which it is, is to connect directly to your isp point of entry (with an ethernet cable bypassing your router) If your Yoga is a PC and not a laptop, it should have an ethernet port. Or, you can buy a Lightning to Ethernet adapter or USB-C hub that includes Ethernet for your ipad and connect to the POE. My isp makes me prove each and every time that it's not my equipment.

It sounds like you are in an isolated area. What kind of internet do you have (satellite, wireless, etc) and what is your isp?

I say all this because we live in the country and fought getting a stable internet connection for years so I feel your pain. No mountains around here, but a lot of trees. We finally had to pay out the nose to install our own tower tall enough to get over them. My connection is wireless to a service tower not even 1/2 mile away. My speed is not the fastest but at least it is now stable.

The Trend Micro/Firefox message is a whole different issue that may or may not be connected to the network problem.

Hi there
can you break your chunks of text down into "More readable" paragraphs with a line space or so. It's really hard ploughing through a huge block of text like that.

Also if I'm offered any service that gave me text in that type of format I'd immediately "Look elsewhere".

(Readability should always be primary -- even if the content is B/S !!!!!!!! - not saying yours is of course) but clear concise text is 101 in any "marketing" approach. Lucky though our typical scammers haven't learned that yet.

Cheers
jimbo

Additionally, could you please NOT capitalize every word in every sentence? It may seem innocuous, but in fact it actually destroys the readabillity of your post as well, not to mention will probably make some people ignore it entirely.

Now, you mention not being able to view your network files - if these are files on your internal network, then your Internet connectivity will have nothing to do with this, and you should start evaluating both your internal network as well as you actual machine(s) for processes running in the background using your network connections for no reason.

As for converting files, unless you're using an online site to do this, I assume that you are using software on your computer to accomplish the conversion, and if so, again, this has nothing to do with your Internet connection. So, you should start looking at running processes on your machine(s) to evaluate what could be going on.

For future reference, please detail both of these scenarios that I mention, and try to be as objective as you can about it, it helps a lot when reports are more factual and less subjective (it feels slower).

That all being said, explaining your internal setup (just device types, such as games consoles, tablets, desktop PCs and laptops, and how they connect to your network, no need for exact model numbers, serial numbers, etc.) will get us started in trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

@jimbo45

Agreed, but the thing is, not everyone is a proficient writer, nor do they generally know where to insert a blank line to indicate where one subject (paragraph) ends and another begins.

Yes, readability is primary, but at the same time, we're here to help if we can, or to get help. From everything I read in the beginning paragraph, the OP is totally frustrated and begging for help. (Since I'm no network guru, I can't help very much.)

At this point, let's cut the OP a break and try to answer his concerns.

@EpicBWin11Forum

I read some things that may give some hints as to your problem. I'll put my thoughts into another post.

even if paragraphs aren't precisely in the correct places - just breaking the text up every so often works well too -- lots of people on these boards aren't using English as their "ist" language. !!!!

I agree - helping is what we're all (or mostly) doing on these boards but if the problem is not understandable in the ist place then a solution is unlikely to be forth coming - even with the best will in the world.

1. Thanks for adding MyComputer specs. It will be of tremendous value to those trying to help you.

2. From what I'm reading I don't think it's your router that's at fault.

3.

Sadly, Everything That I Have Here Is Getting Infinitely Slow Here...I Can't Convert Any PNG Icons To ICO Files; , I Can't Open Offline Programs That Are Slower Than I Think (Possibly)

This isn't due to an Internet connection as far as I can see, unless you have the files in the cloud. Offline programs should open, even if Internet is nonexistent.

4.

Although, Trend Micro Had Started Popping Up These Stupid "Website Blocked" Messages Here Which It Says That It Might Be A Phishing Website...

I'm pretty sure Trend Micro isn't the app that produced these messages; it was most likely your browser. Under the Security setting, it may be set to "Strict" instead of a more moderate setting. Go into your browser's security settings and check this out.

5. Since you had both your Lenovo and Ipad connected to the Internet at the same time, it could be that you contracted malware of some sort that infected both PCs. Looking at #4 above, it could be that malware has changed some of your browser settings, along with various other things.

6. Hopefully, you have backups of both computers and can restore them to an earlier time. Sometimes that's the easiest and best solution to a misbehaving computer.

7. If you don't have backups, please download and install the latest free version of Macrium Reflect (Macrium.com).

8. Also, please download, install, and run (scan your computer for malware) Malwarebytes free. Download Malware Removal | Free Antivirus Scan & Virus Protection Tool

Good luck.

I am on 600+ with Virgin Media at present, but its a special deal for 18 months. It good but after the 3 months I will go back to 350+; not thank much of a difference.

Watch those nasty deals that hide price rises or say price rise of xx% (Low) then the real sting in the tail +CPI which means in some places your next rise will be probably of the order of 14% !!!!!!. I hate the way a lot of companies are sneakily doing this sort of stuff world wide. I'm no socialist but there must surely be a better way of running businesses not just for the CEO's and a few shareholders but also better for their customers -- after all no customers --no business.

Not bad, though when they drop they may pester you to upgrade for a ridiculous price.

I'm paying under $100 for gigabit, and AT&T has started offering 5 gigabit plans for less than double what I ma paying right now (though not in my area yet, much to my chagrin), so it will be a decent deal overall, once I can get it. but 650, heck, even a stable 300+ will allow for decent HD streaming without any issues, as long as the stability is there.

But, getting back to your original post, can you please detail the the items that we asked about so we can ascertain wherein the problem lies?

Also, is this a cable connection, a DSL connection, a Satellite connection, or something else?

Hi three

perhaps is Customers get a bitmopre Savvy then these greedy corps will have to cange their business models.

Don't get me wrong --I'm in now way at all a "Red flag waving socialistic" sort of ersomn and lso have done loadsof trades on the Stock Markets -- but when it come to things like Energy and Food some sort of other constraints need to be looked at.

In Scandanavian counties - while the overall rate of taxation might be higer than say in the USA at least the system works without mega problems between Rich and Poor -- Just take India fir example --Russian supporting Country, totally uable to feed its own population, corruption endemic and even their own Coal mones can't produce the power requiremntsmeawhile Indian billionaires swagger overseas buying up everything from UK Premier League football teams to "Failed Steel works" so they can get

I know I have issues with UK curently -- not the best platform to dicuss this but Brexit must surely go into Guinness book of records as the "Worst Self Harm in History",

Anyway those "Deals" are not only confined to the UK.

It's a pain but please if accepting any of this sort of stuff DO peruse the small print -- the sting in the tail might be on page 24 !! by which time most people would have given up and signed the deal.

disagree. I voted leave. The EU unelected Commission are probably the most single corrupt administration in the world, Billions over the years have gone missing. An auditor was sacked because she exposed missing money. No thanks glad we are out, we have the world to trade with, not a bunch of self important, british haters.
