Yep, I guess MC Donalds messed up the WIFI :(
I'm at the Library and getting all kinds of speeds, over 200K sometimes though it varies allot and hits some pretty slow speeds for a few minutes sometimes also.
Not sure how many PCs in use here right now but a few.

I spend all day when I get to WIFI and normally most the day I am only one using the WIFI. A ...

When they go the same exact board is no longer available so that means upgrading to something newer, then the version of Windows does not work! That means a fresh O/S install, finding al...
