Wi-Fi Slow?

Speed is a recurring concern for many people. One of the ways speed manifests is as the speed of your wireless connection.

Here's the kicker: your wireless speed might be irrelevant.

How to tell, and what to do, are covered in this week's featured article: Why is My Wi-Fi Speed Slow?.

Also this week:

• Hub vs. Switch vs. Router.
• Deleting your account if you can't sign in.
