Have him run a speed test a few times: LINK

Come back with all results, including ping and jitter.

Those numbers look perfectly fine. I can’t imagine that an extender would help the situation.

I’ll echo a previous suggest that I would start looking at anti-virus/firewall as potential issues.

That was my first grab this morning at around 8am

That's why I was hanging a lantern on how long the post had been up when I was justifying grabbing a second

Update on PC Build:

I have purchased the CPU, Mobo, RAM, cooler and SSD.

CPU & Mobo w/RAM: Newegg Combo Deal

CPU Cooler: Liquid CPU cooler

SSD: Amazon SSD

Crossing fingers for a deal on the PSU, Graphics Card and case during black friday/cyber monday?

Don't know how I missed this until now...

Which CPU? That link doesn't work anymore.

But yeah, in my opinion, new builds should always get their own threads. Just hard to keep up with them otherwise

You don't need a liquid cooler.

No, but “need” is a strong word and for $55 it’s not really an issue.

I hear ya

Aside from the cool factor, I like being able to dump the heat straight out of my system instead of dragging it over my components.

My son said he wanted as much RGB in his PC as possible so the liquid cooler does the job in that category.

I think I've gone too far. Got another AW3225QF for Black Friday and dual 32" is just too damn much

Bro...

I've got one 34" and have thought "the size is fine, but I guess I could reasonably go up to 38" or so..."

You're a fricking madlad
