Hehe I found a modem used in the past before I moved in my closet of old stuff.

I guess it's the ethernet card


So I put back my old modem inside the closet and reattached the cables to my existing one and surprisingly I got these speeds. Highest ever :)

I know it won't last long..

Why is it that it sometimes work and sometimes don't work?

And which ethernet card should I buy? [If there are differences] [preferably Best Buys because there's one nearby]

Hp Model a6230n

Well for everything in the world, better products = more expensive
Should I buy the $35? or the $20/Would it be true in this case?

Take a look

If you want my personal opinion....if 15 bucks more won't make any dent in your wallet and you'll feel better, go for $35 one :)

Well my laptop began to have slow internet as well, so it can't be that the ethernet card for the laptop is malfunctioning too (less than 1 week old)

So I called AT&T and they said that my filter for the phone and internet went bad. Time to get a new filter..

-Just letting you know

It's needed, if you have regular phone on the same line, so internet and phone signals don't get confused.
