Windows 10: WiFi and Ethernet Slow only on One Device

Both my wireless network (2.4 and 5 GHz) and network cable connections are slow (6 mbps) only on one of my laptops.

My personal laptop is slow on my wireless network. My connection is usually 100 mbps. I get this speed on all other devices in my home. Phones, tablets, roku, and my work laptop all get normal speed. So I connected my laptop to a network cable, still I get the same slow speed with a direct connection.

Thinking it was a problem with only this computer, I connected the laptop to a mobile hotspot from my phone. The internet speed flew up to 80 mbps.

It seems to be an issue between only this device and only with this router together.

I have tried the following to fix it:
Updated drivers on network card,
Uninstalled and reinstalled network card, updated windows, forgot all networks and cleared temp files, reset router, disabled virus and security software, uninstalled VPN.

I don't know what else to do. The laptop speed is normal on mobile hotspot. The speed is slow on my home network both wired and wireless. The router is fine on all other devices except this one.

Wifi very slow on laptop, but ok on other devices - Windows 10

Hi Annu

I've had the same problem as Panayiotis1984. Upgraded to Windows 10 on my Lenovo from windows 8.1 - now the wifi is painfully slow. The wifi still works fine on my other devices (smartphone etc).

I tried the steps that you suggested but they did not bring an improvement.

Any other suggestions?

WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

OK but why?

NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.

 

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
article.
