    Laptop Wifi Upload speed much slower than download speed


    I have a Dell Inspiron N5040 running 1809 17763.153. It has a Dell Wireless 1502 802.11 b/g/n WiFi card which is made by Atheros. Prior to upgrading to 1803 WiFi worked normally and Download was faster than Upload, 35Mb vs 10Mb. Since 1803 and now 1809 as well, Download is around 4Mb while Upload is still around 10Mb.

    I've tried different drivers but that has made no difference. I've looked at the AT&T Modem but there is no QoS settings to mess with so I can't do anything in that area.

    The Dell 1502 is a single band device, 2.4Ghz only.

    The driver I currently have is Qualcom Atheros 10.0.0.341 5/20/2016. It worked just as poorly with the driver Windows 10 installed for it.

    Any ideas on how to fix this greatly appreciated as it makes the laptop useless. I may have to go back to 1709 which was the last version that worked right then use WuMGR to block future updates, at least until MS fixes this problem.

    :)

    WiFi internet speed running slow on Windows10 Lenovo U31-70 laptop

    Hi,

    I have a Lenovo U31-70 laptop which I bought in August 2015. It had Windows 10 pre-installed at the time of purchase.

    Since last 1-2 months I have been observing that the the WiFi internet speed on my laptop has become slower. If I go to speedtest.com and measure the speed, I see Download speed=5Mbps and Upload speed= 0.5Mbps on Lenovo laptop. However, if I measure the
    net speed using my 3years old Windows 7 Toshiba laptop, I measure Download speed=55Mbps and Upload speed= 5Mbps.

    I am wondering if this is a Windows 10 problem or something has happened to my new Lenovo laptop suddenly. Any suggestions to debug and fix this problem?

    I have tried installing this driver but doing so (followed by system restart) doesnt improve the internet speed: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds103732

  3. Slow Download Speed

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

    • I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
    • I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
    • You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.


    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you

    Laptop slow wifi speeds

    I have a an Acer Aspire E1-532 laptop that has windows 10 installed. Recently the wifi broadband speed to the laptop has dropped from 24mbs to around 5mbs (or slower) for no apparent reason. If I connect directly to the router by cable, the 24mbs speed
    is again achieved. Is this a laptop/windows problem or router settings?
