Windows 10: Internet speed is shockingly bad but only on pc

Hi, I'm really struggling with my pc at the moment as the internet speed I use ethernet and don't have the option for wireless connection is so slow that something like simply watching a youtube video is difficult. This has only recently became a problem as a couple weeks ago, before this started, I could play games such as fortnite or valorant with no lag. I have tried updating new drivers, resetting my router numerous times and tried looking up lots of different solutions but I can't figure out how to fix this. For reference using fast.com it gave me a speed of 1.3 mbps on my PC while my p

Slow Internet speed on only one computer.

Hi Cody,

Slow internet speed on one of your computer could be due to the following:

• Outdated network adapter driver
• Different Wi-Fi chipset
• Computer processing speed

Make sure that the network driver of your computer(s) are always updated.

We also suggest you to contact your internet service provider for them to check your internet connection speed and give you more information.

Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.

 

WIFI status says i have a good internet speed, yet a speed test says my internet is shockingly bad!

Hello All

I went to network connections and clicked on the interface I use to get to the WIFI status for the device. Everything seems to be well, signal quality is subpar however my internet speed is 21.7 Mbps. Yet when I perform a speed test on my device, my download
speed reaches a maximum speed of 0.4 Mbps, and then stops the speedtest and says that I cant connect to the speed test server. I dont think this is a problem with my router (although it is god awful) as I get approximately 25 Mbps download on my phone. Why
does the WIFI status claim that I am getting speeds of 21.7 Mbps, yet my actual internet speed (in task manager) is under 900 KB/s?

I feel like I should add this, I understand that there is a difference between MBps and Mbps, however all units of measurement (apart from KB/s) are all Mbps (Megabits), so the reason why the speeds are different isnt because they have been converted.

I should also mention that my PC is custom built, and I have a cheap WIFI usb card.

Thanks for your time
