    My Wi-Fi is really slow on Windows but really fast on Android


    When I use my Wi-Fi on Android it's really fast, but when I use it on Windows it's really slow. I noticed that on windows when I open Youtube and Google it's fast no problem and I can load 4K videos without buffer, but I tried loading Amazon and Speedtest.net it wouldn't load the page. My Wi-Fi is a business Wi-Fi and it is at 100 mb/s. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

    :)

  2. N8 internet

    The native browser on my N8 works pretty fast over 3G but really slow if at all over Wi-Fi.

    Opera Mobile 11 on the other hand works great on either 3G or Wi-Fi. So it would seem the native browser doesn't like my wireless router ( or the other way round ).

  3. Slow computer since Windows 10 upgrade.

    My computer is running really slowly since it was upgraded to Windows 10, particularly the internet. Also Windows photo viewer is really slow and clunky and frequently crashes. I do not have much technical knowledge, but have removed a lot of files recently,
    so would have expected my computer to speed up, not slow down. I have 771GB free space and 4GB RAM. I regularly use C-cleaner and have disabled peer-to-peer sharing. There is another computer connected to my hub via wi-fi, which runs perfectly. I am connected
    to my hub by wire. On my computer, the internet (using Google Chrome, but Edge is even worse), is very slow to load, as are individual web pages and videos are constantly buffering. On the other wi-fi connected computer, the connections are fast and there
    is no buffering. It makes no difference whether the other computer is on or off. Can anyone help?

    You might need to update the wifi drivers or buy a new wifi card.
    Is your wifi dual band? If so is the computer using the 5G band?

    Finally after so many internet searches I have found the solution, I don't know why nobody has mentioned this fix online, basically what I did was first change the DNS server to automatically obtain DNS:
    Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center>Change Adapter Settings
    Then right click your Wi-Fi and click properties. Double click internet protocol version 4 and check 'Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically. Then close. After that go to CMD and run as Admin do the command "ipconfig/flushdns". Then go to device manager>Network adapter choose your Wi-Fi Adapter mine is Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165 right click the adapter and choose update, choose browse my computer and then choose let me pick from a list, choose the first version on the list and BAM the Wi-Fi should work, hope it worked, good luck
