I have 2 desktop pcs win 11 Lastest Lenovo all in one, worked fine for 6 months then got fibre box installed. Lenovo keeps dropping out but No 2 pc ok, also Lenovo when online works slow whilst No 2 ok. Some times Lenovo says can't connect to site but No 2 does. Have run various virus and malware but still the same. I'm loath to do a Factory reset. I get about 140 megs download.

@Degs are you using WiFi to connectvthe two PCs? If so the most likely explanation is one is getting less signal than the other. Ideally one would use Ethernet to network desktop PCs but if that is not possible getting a WiFi extrnder or using powerline networking adapters might help.

Thanks for your reply, the problem Lenovo is Ethernet and No 2 is wifi. What I will try is to switch off No 2 wifi.

Thanks
