    Download speed drops drastically after waking computer from sleep


    When I download games on steam, the download speed is ridiculously slow while the computer is awake, around 10kbps. But when my computer falls asleep, my download speed is recorded around 12 to 18mbps. But as soon as I wake my computer again, it will drop instantly. What causes this issue?

    :)

    computer wake-up after sleep

    Hi Bill,

    There's a possibility that the settings that enables your Space bar to wake your computer up from sleep was reset after updating Windows. If this what had happened, we suggest that you just re-set it up. See the steps below on how to do
    so:

    • Press Windows key and type keyboard in.
    • Click on Keyboard option and a pop-up windows should show up.
    • From there, go to > Hardware tab > Properties >
      Change settings > Power management > Allow this device to wake the computer >
      OK/Apply.

    Try the if the steps did work and let us know any updates.

    wake from sleep issue in windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

    I suggest you to check which devices are configured to wake up the computer from sleep by following the steps below:

    • Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the command line below:
    Powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

    3. Check if the devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet cable) are listed.

    If the system is not going to sleep and going to Hybernate, the only option to wake up is to press the Power button.

    Hope the information is helpful.

    Slow Internet Speeds After Waking Up From Sleep - ASUS ZenBook

    Hello,

    I get really slow internet speeds after my computer wakes up from sleep. I'm on wifi. The speeds drop from 200mbps to 10mbps. I have to disconnect and reconnect to the wifi. Afterward, the speed is back to normal. Then, after waking up from sleep, it drops
    again. My other laptop and mobile devices don't have this issue. Here's what I've done so far:

    - Made sure netword adapter drivers are up to date

    - Tried different MIMO power save mode settings

    Thanks,

    Allen
