I'm sure this will all come as a shock, but it looks like the media made a bigger deal about the iphones than was necessary.

So, I'm guessing the LAN port was just going bad, but it'd be nice if someone with more technical experience could shed some light on this for me.
For the past six months or more, I've been dealing with laggy, unresponsive internet on my computer at home. I had to stop using one browser because of it. I figured it was just some hdd or cache issue, but tonight it stopped working entirely. Luckily my motherboard has two LAN ports, so I tried swapping it to the other one.
All the issues I'd been having immediately cleared up. The internet is snappy, and the old browser works just like it used to.
Is it just a case that the LAN port went bad (and do I need to worry about my motherboard), or is it another issue?
Everything is great now, but I did a search and didn't really see anything that explained what happened to me.2015 AAL - Ezekiel "Double Digit Sacks" Ansah.

I have a similar, yet different, situation going on. My connection to WiFi at work hasn't been working too well lately. I'm the only one experiencing the problem. If I take the laptop off of my docking station, the connection immediately works great. Had them swap docking stations, same problem. The docking station at home works fine...no wifi issues.
???? Weird one.#birdsarentreal

Is the docking station on a wired LAN connection? It would seem that while docked, the laptop would choose to use the wired connection over the wi-fi, and your problems could be in the wired connection...just a guess.The only thing missing from that Marvin Jones touchdown reversal is that it wasn't a first round playoff game.

next time the internet is "laggy" go to a command prompt and simply ping 8.8.8.8 and annotate the time.
Try this command ping 8.8.8.8 -t
let it run for a good screen full to stop the ping sweep press <ctrl> and the C key at the same time
We are looking at the latency of the time the ping packet, the time it takes the ping packet to leave your pc and return to your pc after hitting one of the google dns servers.
normal ping time to hit google for most of us is between 50ms and 100ms, what we are looking for is crazy swings like
80ms
89ms
69ms
75ms
455ms
reply timed out
reply timed out
999ms
300ms
89ms
91ms
79ms
900ms
reply timed out
then switch NIC's and do it again and compare the ping sweeps.Brand New Detroit Lions
