network adapter upgrade

Hi Keith,

If you're using an old TP-Link adapter, I highly suggest that you buy the latest model. It would help you getting the fastest internet connection depending on your internet speed. I personally use TP Link TL WR941ND router for almost a year and I have no
issues with the speed of the internet. It would be best to contact TP-Link support to get the high-end and cost efficient adapter at the same time.

Regarding the speed of your internet, I suggest that you get in-touch with your ISP support for better assistance. My personal advice is to get
FiOS. It provides higher speed of internet than the usual copper wiring.
Thus, I can recommend that you update your network adapter driver to improve the performance of your internet connection. Follow these steps:

1. In Device Manager, select Network adapters, right-click your adapter, and then select Properties.
2. Select the Driver tab, and then select Update Driver.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Restart your computer.
