Lord of Steam
When I first got my PC, the internet was super fast 
- my bedroom is at the front of the house and the router is in the living room at the back of the house, but the wifi connection is pretty decent. The week of Christmas, we moved a signal booster from the dining room, which is out of the way out into the hall, as it was getting in the way of the decorations and the dog kept whacking it with her tail. The problem I had then was I then couldn't connect to the main router and had to connect through the booster which I find really slow (streaming video takes forever with epic buffering and downloading through Steam tops out at around 2Mb which is not ideal when a growing number of games are 10Gb+ ). The PC RMA meant I forgot how bad the internet was as my laptop instantly connects to the router and ignores the booster. The last few days I've been reminded how poop the internet is until tonight I asked if anybody minded if I disconnected the booster for a little while to try something. I unplugged the router, uninstalled the drivers on my wifi card and rebooted the PC. The PC connected straight to the router and I'm back to the internet speeds I enjoy on my laptop!
I've plugged the booster back in but no longer have the password for it saved and unticked the autoconnect box, so I should continue to use the router!
