Default Century Link problems

As I posted earlier. My Century Link was less han satisfactory. They sent a tech to my home, He immediately determined that my desk top was the culprit. He said; desk tops are ment to be hard wired and when converted to wireless as yours is, you will lose at least half the signal and likely more in the evenings. At his suggestion, I purchased a much higher capacity wireless USB adapter than the one Century Link installed and this seems to have done the trick. Century Link high speed is delivered at 10 mbps and I am now at a 8+ and performing much better. Oh yes, I purchased the Netgear N900 adapter for $35 online, Walmart's cost for this same adapter is $65 plus tax.
