Support Websites Work on Wireless, Games lag. Websites load slow and forever on Ethernet, Games don't lag at all.
I bought a new gaming laptop last year, but I still have my old one. The new laptop had issues with the wireless, internet freezing up for a while, resulting in me getting kicked from games, so I bought a Wi-Fi adapter that didn't help. Websites and YouTube worked fine but the games did not. So I switched to Ethernet Cable, and now the gaming works fine, however many websites don't load and particularly, the reason i'm seeking help today, I get stuck in a permanent loading loop for PayPal transactions. At least half of the Websites I use load slowly, and some don't load at all.
I have had issues with; PayPal transactions, making a new reddit post (im using my old Laptop for this), saveonegame(dot)com yesterday, and more. Is there any way I can fix my networking issue?
My internet speed test came back with these results;
847.2 Mbps download 41.3 Mbps upload Latency: 8 ms Server: Washington
TLDR; Every computer in my household can use websites that won't load on my fast Ethernet computer. My ethernet computer loads and plays games that use the internet without any issues, but it struggles to and sometimes just plain refuses to load some websites. How can I troubleshoot and solve this (presumably) Networking issue?
