    Low download speed


    Hello,


    I have fiber internet with 300 mbps up/down. The problem I am having is that my two windows 10 computers limit the download speed drastically. I am seeing about 150 down and 300 up. All other devices on the network get the full 300/300, including a linux laptop and many wireless devices.


    To confirm this issue, I did plug both devices into the router through ethernet and showed the same issue. However, booting into safe mode will show speed tests at the appropriate 300/300. I have tried disabling all antivirus and firewall, updating network adapter drivers, reinstalling network drivers from the manufacturer website, and running virus scans. I confirmed that QoS was not enabled on the router, also the safe mode working proves that, I have no idea what to try next.


    I have only had the new internet for about a month. I noticed the issue as I was having some problems on a site and just wanted to see if it was me or the site about 5 days ago (was not on my end as 150 down is still plenty). But I can only say that I know for a fact it was good one month ago and was not good about 5 days ago. Not sure if there were any updates during that time that may have caused the issue.


    Please help me find out why I am getting limited speeds in normal boot but not in safe mode!


    Thanks for your help!

    Tony

    Very Low Downloading Speed

    Hello,

    I bought new Dell Laptop with Window 10 64 bit Home. It has Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265.

    I am Using BSNL Wi fi.

    After using sometime, I found that downloading speed is very low as compared to my previous laptop which is also Dell with Windows 7 32 Bit.

    I did Speed Test on Both Laptops with same router and at a same distance. (http://www.speedtest.net/)

    New Laptop has Downloading Speed 3.65 Mbps whereas Old laptop has 8.7 Mbps.

    I did every possible steps available on Google but Not success. My Windows and All drivers are Updated to this date.

    Any Help Please.

    Very Low Downloading Speed

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting on our Microsoft Community.



    Download speed also depends on the kind of network adapter that you have on a computer. We would suggest that you uninstall the network driver, restart your computer after to let Windows install a new driver for your Windows 10 computer.



    To uninstall your network driver, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, type Device Manager, and press
      Enter
      . Alternatively, you can also press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the options.
    • Find and double-click the category of device whose driver you wish to uninstall (for example, the graphics card would be listed under Display Adapters).
    • Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
    • Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.
    • After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.


    Let us know if this helps.
