First is that it's faster when plugged in with an ethernet cable, (for example to a router directly connected to modem).
The Problem: windows 8.0 will not connect unless WiFi is turned OFF on the computer (maybe rebooted).
OR the setting for preference to connect is CHANGED so that the ethernet cable is preferred over WiFi.
That's a bug in 8.0.
It's always a major pain in the ass to find the ethernet/wifi network settings!
There is no start button in 8.0.
It's even VERY difficult to find a 'shut down and restart' or just shut down button!
Whoever designed the user interface in 8.0 should be fired. Microsoft you STILL suck!
(but only sometimes, problem is it's the WORST times such as for new users. You're as bad as GM with their ignition switches!)
