  1. My laptop has serious issues with wifi speed, and I can't find the cause.


    I've tried everything from redownloading drivers, to turning off battery saver only kinda works, and I have two devices connected to my wifi no bottlenecking on that end either, and there's no viruses on my system. I also checked the wifi card speeds rated 280 MPBS, but as time goes on it slows to 60, then 17, then 3, until it stops. I have no idea how to explain it and can't find any resources describing this issue.

    :)

    Wifi speed on Lenovo laptop

    I have a Lenovo laptop with a Broadcom wifi adapter, the upload and download speed has fallen through the floor along with network drops outs.

    The laptop is running Windows 10 1909, the laptop is currently running Microsoft wifi adapter drivers, I have downloaded drivers direct from Broadcom but the performance was even worse using the Broadcom drivers. I have checked with the Lenovo web site and according to the driver support I have upto date drivers.

    I have checked wifi performance using speedtest.net on my phone sat next to my laptop and I am getting the expected broadband speed. My son has also tested the wifi speed on his PC upstairs and it is only slightly less than expected broadband speed ( to be expected based on distance from the router etc.). My broadband speed is 100+Mbps on average, the laptop is giving just 10Mbps.

    Can anybody make any suggestions on what I can do to get the laptops wifi performance back to wear it should be please.
     
  3. Wifi speed issue in HP Laptop

    Hello,

    I bought this laptop last Diwali (November 2014). It had connecting to WiFi networks which got resolved in Windows 10 upgrade but now issue currently being faced by me is WiFi reception and speed issue. Since I have updated my laptop to Windows 10 I get
    slow speed on WiFi. I tried disconnecting all my other devices accessing WiFi but yet the speed I receive is just 10-20% of my full speed WiFi plan, even sitting next to router, connecting LAN wire every time is not feasible.

    Looking for some solution at earliest as my work is based on Skype, and loads of browsing sites!

    Regards!

    WiFi Speed Issue

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with a new 500gb ssd and a clean Win 10 install. Internet download speed when connected to the router via cat 5 in approx. 150Mbps, but via wifi is about 2Mbps. My other laptop, phone and tablet all have no issues when connecting
    via wifi so this is not a router or ISP problem. I've tried most of the suggestions found on line with no luck. Any ideas?
