Windows 10: Why is my wifi download speed slow on my laptop Windows 10 and not on my phone on the same...

My download speed for my laptop on windows 10 is half the speed when connected to the same wifi network when I use my phone or tablet.

This is the same if I connect directly to the router.

I have checked with my internet provider and the connections are fine - it is a problem with my laptop.

Wifi speed on Lenovo laptop

I have a Lenovo laptop with a Broadcom wifi adapter, the upload and download speed has fallen through the floor along with network drops outs.

The laptop is running Windows 10 1909, the laptop is currently running Microsoft wifi adapter drivers, I have downloaded drivers direct from Broadcom but the performance was even worse using the Broadcom drivers. I have checked with the Lenovo web site and according to the driver support I have upto date drivers.

I have checked wifi performance using speedtest.net on my phone sat next to my laptop and I am getting the expected broadband speed. My son has also tested the wifi speed on his PC upstairs and it is only slightly less than expected broadband speed ( to be expected based on distance from the router etc.). My broadband speed is 100+Mbps on average, the laptop is giving just 10Mbps.

Can anybody make any suggestions on what I can do to get the laptops wifi performance back to wear it should be please.

 

Microsoft store download speeds and windows 10 app load speeds are very slow

Hi Riel,

• The latest update I have showing is "2018-02 Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64 based system KB4074588"
• I've tried all the below steps suggested by Eeshwar Kumar in this link: Why is Windows Store's download speed so slow?
• And also all by Jane La in the below: Microsoft Store Very Low Download Speeds

Slow Internet Over Wifi. Only Internet Speed Weirdly Slowed.

Hi, Microsoft.

Wireless Environment Details

Previously, I am using Windows 7 and upgraded to Windows 10 in my Dell laptop with overall environment details as below,

• Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Wifi adapter, using 5Ghz band at 433Mbps.
• Using Asus RT-AC68U, performing 600Mbps (2.4GHz) + 1300Mbps (5GHz).
• Subscribing fiber optic 300Mbps ISP speed.

Problem Statements

I am facing internet speed throttled over Wifi but not wired LAN connection. The speed throttled below than 100Mbps during downloading. The Wifi weirdly throttled the internet speed only but not local network file transfer over wireless.

Test Methods and Problem Analysis.

• The laptop and router range within 2 meters away.
• No multiple devices connected to the router during the test.
• DNS set in router is Google's DNS, 8.8.8.8
• My laptop using default Windows 10 Firewall and set network to "Private".
• No VPN were used nor installed.
• All hardwares installed with latest drivers from Dell website.
• All networking speed monitored using Resource Monitor.
• Download files from internet into laptop over LAN cable. Full speed at 300Mbps.
• Download files from internet into laptop over Wifi. Speed slowed down less than 100Mbps.
• I have a desktop PC too, using Windows 10 and LAN cable connection to router.
• Transferring files from desktop PC to Asus router and finally wireless to my laptop.
  FULL SPEED around 400Mbps.
• This is so odd. Wireless file transfer over local network can be full speed but internet over wireless slowed. Obviously not Wifi adapter problem.
• I decided to further test the router hardware.
• Download files from internet into desktop PC over LAN cable. Full speed at 300Mbps.
• Download files from internet over smartphone and tablet (both Android and iOS) wireless.
  FULL SPEED at 300Mbps. Obviously not router problem too.
• So I narrowed down the problem only can be Windows 10. Can you help me identify the problems?
