Windows 10: Slow Wi-Fi internet Speed on PC

Hi,

I'm having persistent problems with slow Internet speeds via Wi-Fi on my PC as compared to my mobile phone and laptop . When I run speed test on the three devices that are in the same position in the house I get the following :-




device


download speed


upload speed


laptop - Windows 10


74.04 Mbps


18.05 Mbps


phone - Android


65.9 Mbps


18.3 Mbps


PC -Windows 10


11.89 Mbps


15.51 Mbps


this problem has been ongoing for several weeks now and has been getting worse - previously I was getting about half the laptop speeds on my PC . I'm running windows 10 professional on my PC and here are the specifications :-



Processor IntelR CoreTM i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz

Installed RAM 16.0 GB

Device ID DBFA283E-2CA2-4DE8-805A-2DD39B0BD789

Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA921

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor



Here are the specifications of the Wi-Fi card :-

↑ IntelR Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265

primary Auto IP Address: 192.168.1.183 / 24

Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Dhcp Server: 192.168.1.254

Physical Address: 60:57:18:0B:B6:8E

Connection Speed: 195 Mbps

so far I've completed the following all with no result!

• A simple restart
• disabling and re enabling the Wi-Fi card
• Flushed DNS via the command prompt
• manually set DNS settings in properties for the device
• did a full reinstall of windows

None of this has worked - I am three floors up from where the router is so Ethernet is not an alternative especially as I also have a problem with TP link powerline plugs that I am trying to resolve separately!



Please can you advise how I can get Wi-Fi on my PC at a similar speed to that I receive on my laptop .

Many thanks

Extremely slow speeds on wi-fi (win10)

I'm having a lot of problems with win10 lately... Now my speed connection sucks! I can get more than 3mbps on Wi-Fi.

1- Checked router- OK

2- Internet speed on iPhone: 305mbps

3- Internet speed on iPad: 298mbps

4- Internet speed on PC (hotwire): 395mbps

5- Internet speed on PC (Wi-Fi): 3mbps

First device manager said I had the latest driver for my network adapter - Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 - wrong!!

I found a newer version and reinstalled the hardware with the new driver (8/1/2017) but speed is still slow as my old dial-up.

Any advices out there?

 

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• Outdated network adapter driver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.
