Wifi trouble: hardware issue or software?

Hi Archers,

I'm experiencing issues with my wifi connection: it breaks frequently, particularly when it's "stressed out" (video streaming, P2P, remote desktop, etc.).
Theses disconnections have appeared some weeks ago.

I know it doesn't come from my wifi router, since I don't have any problem with another PC from the same place.

I'd like to know whether my wifi card is dying or just poorly driven by my system. Is there a way to know this?

Re: Wifi trouble: hardware issue or software?

use nmap and nethog to find out more information on the ports and applications that keep hogging the network resources. Might give you more insight.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
