Windows 10: Slow wifi only fixed with router reset

Hi, I am running a windows surface 3 laptop spec as below every week or two the wifi connection seems to be throttled with a ping speed of 100's ms, download speed of 4/5 mbps, upload speed of 1 mbps. No other device on the network is affected and restarting the laptop, disabling / re-enabling the network adaptor device does not fix the problem.The only way I have found to fix this is to reset the router then I get a ping speed around 10 ms, download speed of 65 mbps and upload speed of around 20 mbps. This is a bit annoying as everything else on the network is disconnected and some devices

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

 

Wifi Very Slow

Hi,

The following are some reasons that may cause of the slow WiFi connection.

• Corrupted or incompatible drivers.
• Missing updates.
• Network connection settings.
• Hardware or software problems.
• Inappropriate distance from the router or obstruction.
• Interference with other devices.

To isolate the concern, have you checked if the issue persists with other devices? For now, we suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps provided in this
