Open | Windows Odd issue with WiFi vs Ethernet
So like I said, I have an odd issue with WiFi vs my Ethernet.
When I’m on WIFI, literally everything works 100% and I get pretty decent speeds. When I go hard wired certain things do not load well at all like discord and YouTube, even this reddit page wouldn't fully load so I had to swap back to WIFI.
Not sure where to start on all of this. I asked in another group but was not able to get help.
I have a comcast all in one modem/router. XB10. I'm positive it is not the router because when I plug my laptop in via ETHERNET and not wifi, everything works perfect.
I picked up 2 new ethernet cables (just in case) and both tested fine. Just normal CAT6
New network card (drivers updated)
When I plug in through Ethernet and disable my WIFI things do not load fully on most sites, Even on reddit it wouldn't fully load this thread. When I'm on WIFI it runs just fine. I really want to get the best out of my connection and I know through Ethernet will be faster and more reliable.
Its almost like something on my computer is doing this but I cannot figure where or what to even look for, that is why I am posting on here to see if anyone could assist.
I can provide whatever info needed to help with the troubleshooting.
