I'm guessing my desktop's operating system (Windows 7) is the problem. I have fiber optic internet service, my router is less than a year old, and my wireless adapter is 2 weeks old. The oldest part of the chain is the OS, but I wanted to see what you more knowledgeable guys thought...if it is the OS, is there a way to clean it up so it loads faster? The only thing it's used for is surfing the web...
