slow update

[Dynavwryn]

so i just bought a LAN adapter ( http://tinyurl.com/yj79st7 )

trying to connect to the internet:

• plugged it in to the usb ports
• plugged my enthernet cord into it (after reseting my modem)
• tested the connection (it connected)
• could not update

the update was very slow, and hour and not even 10% completed. i looked at my package and there was a cd and instalation instructions. do i need to follow the instructions to be able to update?

help please?

First I'd check the instructions and make sure you didn't miss anything. Most reviews say the drive CD isn't needed. What kind of modem are you plugging this into? Cable/dsl? What brand name modem? Motorola/Westell? Have you tried a different piece of CAT5 cable? Does the internet channel work? If so, go to speedtest.net on the internet channel and check your bandwitdh.
