Whenever I transfer some files over wireless on my home network, my internet connection becomes next to unresponsive (websites don't load or take forever to load) until I kill the network transfer. I am on Windows 8. Why is this happening?
It's like the network can only handle one thing at a time, which is strange because none of my other laptops have this problem. With other laptops (that have Windows 7) I could easily transfer files over wifi at full network cap, while listening to music over the network and browsing the internet with ease, watching Youtube in HD. Now with this Windows 8 machine I don't have that freedom.
Is this a Windows 8 issue? Perhaps I should get Windows 8.1..
Any ideas?
