    I have a wifi connection in my apt and it's used predominantly by just me. It's a bit spotty and the speeds aren't great. I'm in playa del Carmen, Mexico (not known for outlandish internet speeds) and am assured that this is pretty much the best playa has to offer. My speed test shows 3 MBPS dl speed, and like 350kb ul speed. The wireless router is a 54mbps TP Link. I purchased an ethernet cord thinking if I connected directly to router that it would be less spotty. Flawed logic? Is this router possibly stunting the speeds?

    Also, google and youtube are kicking my ass on this topic so any direction is appreciated.

    Nothing seems to show up on my laptop about any ethernet connection. I even disabled the wireless card but nothing...

    Try rebooting the laptop.

    hard wiring it won't improve your internet speed at all, just the data to and from pc to router. is the router spotty, or is the internet connection spotty? what are you trying to improve exactly?

    I just feel that the signal fades in and out every now and then but only for a second. My connection isn't horrible just wasn't sure if there was a way to make it more stable.
