    Wi-Fi issue: Limited connectivity


    Installed new eero WIFI, works great on all Apple products. Used the same network name. The Dell windows 10 machine shows network2 when you curser over network icon (just NETWORK in WIFI setting area) and download speed is be held to 5 MBPS while Apple devices at 150. GEEK squad and EERO couldn't fix it. Appears the windows 10 somehow retained some setting, etc. from the old network configuration and is reused it under NETWORK "2".


    Anyone seen this and know how to fix??


    ***Changed title from: Hidden network"2"***

    :)
