Windows 10: Having to restart wireless adapter to fix wifi speed

So a few days ago I noticed a drop in my wifi speed from around 60 what it should be to around 20. I tried closing all apps and looking at traffic and nothing was out of the ordinary. I then tried to reinstall drivers on my wireless card and it didn't fix. I then just disabled the device and re-enabled the wireless adapter. The wifi speed went back up to around 60 mbps. I went to play the game i was playing and my ping was fine, then after around 15 minutes it went back up. I checked my internet speed and it was back at 20 mbps. I did this a few times and found that restarting the card

USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

Hello

I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

1. I am using Windows 10
2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.








any idea how can I make connect to internet using my new Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps Wireless USB Adaptor - Wi Fi 2 on Windows 10 ?

 

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter kills my Wifi Internet Speed

I have the Microsoft wireless adapter hooked up to my tv and I can connect to it fine via my surfacebook. But once I'm connected, ookla speed test goes from 200mbps to 1-5mbps, making my internet unusable. I've tried it multiple times and right when I
disconnect the wireless adapter even mid-test my internet speed shoots up.

Win10Pro - build 1909

First Gen Surfacebook

Wireless Adapter Firmware version: 1.3.8384

Wifi

My drivers are up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled marvell wireless network driver. Troubleshooter says there is nothing wrong with my connection.

I have an Orange 2gbps router modem. Livebox 5 smart wifi. My ethernet speed is always around 1gbps on my computer via optic fibre but the wifi chip in this surfacebook seems like it can only 200mbps which is annoying. I've read it isn't a very good wifi
chip to begin with nevermind this laptop being 4 years old.

When I use Microsoft wireless display adapter on my computer. It doesn't affect the internet speed at all.

I have sent a recording via feedback app under this email.
