    Wifi Speed Throttled/Reduced/Capped


    Recently I noticed my 3-month old laptop is experiencing poor wifi speed. I have done all I know to debug, but nothing worked. Here is the symptom:


    1. The wifi speed dropped from 50+Mbs to 8.5Mbs at home. All other devices at home are getting at least 25Mbs.

    2. When outside the home, my laptop's wifi returns to normal, getting 50+ Mbs.


    I updated the driver, rebooted router multiple times, forget the home wifi network and reconnect, reset network., make sure it's not in power saving mode, but nothing made a difference. I even plugged in an USB wifi adapter, and no change.


    I also tried what's suggested in this discussion:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...nnection/eaafe3fd-b685-4bf1-a313-37a338f18701


    When I run speed tests, every time it shoots up to 20+Mbs and then quickly drops to 8.5Mbs. It seems to me it's something simple, but I can't figure it out. It's puzzling why it's happening only to my device and not other devices at home, and why it's happening only at home and ok elsewhere. It seems like it's something wrong with the handshake between my router and my laptop. But it worked ok for three months and is having trouble only the last couple of days.


    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.


    Thanks,

    L

    :)

    Upload speed capped on windows 10

    I'm using ADSL like you suggested, I'm also using the talktalk wifi-hub, however I have also tried with the talktalk super-router and am receiving the same issue. Upload speed is being capped at 7.9mbps.

    Do all ISP's throttle speeds/WiFI Blast?

    ISP throttling in the WiFi Blast claims? Misdirection at best, leaning more towards false advertising. If the ISP is throttling your internet by "channel splitting" it's when they do not bond all the channels your cable modem is capable of using.

    WiFi blast overcoming this ISP throttling by combining channels split by your ISP - ABSOLUTELY 100% FASLE advertising.

    The WiFi Blast unit is only a 300Mbps WiFi range extender. Connect it to an AC dual band router and you're losing speed.

    Here is an example of channel bonding from my modem:

    Each downstream channel is about 38 Mbit/s. Each upstream channel is about 27 Mbit/s.

    I'm interested why you believe that ISP's don't or can't throttle internet speeds, or are you just pointing out that the device is a gimmick?
