Windows 10: Wifi is slower than before

Hi, Built a new pc with a ASUS b550m-a wifi II and the wifi is slower than what was on my previous laptop in the same place.Got the realtek driver from the ASUS site 32 bit.Starlink wifi.My download speed has been about half on my new pc then what it's been on my laptop.I have triedut this is command "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal" don't know what it does but someone said it might help.Switched to 5G, My driver options have been different to what other people have. Just disabled where it said 2.4G connection.I have plugged in the antenna.I cannot move the router any close

:)

 

One device much slower than others on home wifi - why?

I spoke with the shop once I could be in front of the computer. Yes. They too were puzzled.

What they think is that:

1. They must have goofed up the parts list for it
2. So the Dell 1397 is the adapter I have
3. And the "radio" must be getting weak or intermittent

Even though I have no Intel 7260 showing in Device Manager:





I went to the Intel site and downloaded the drivers for the 7260. Ran the exe, it ran fine, no errors, told me to restart so changes would take hold - but when I got back, there still wasn't a 7260 listed.

At that point I called the shop again and they said that it's "not uncommon" for an Intel driver install exe to just run, even if its target hardware isn't present. Sounds goofy to me, but okay.

I don't know how useful this is, but here's the ipconfig /all listing, for the wireless on my computer:





I read the guy at the shop the list of network adapters in device manager, and he agreed that none other than the 1397 were wireless adapters.

So - unless a miracle can happen and someone can show me where this alleged 7260 is - I'm going to wait for the shop to help me, or, maybe, if it's not too hard - this is an all-in-one PC and opening up even a big box scares me - put a new card in myself.

 

WiFi much slower on my windows 10 pc

Hi So, I’ve installed a new duel band wifi card... it didn’t really solve the issue... well, nearly. Sometimes I’m up at 70mbps, and other I’m between 10-20mbps (which is a little faster). I’ve used the app/program suggested and can see that my 5ghz single is "weak"...so maybe that explains the lack of consistent increase since I upgraded my card?

 

Recommendation for WiFi usb / card

If you have a desktop computer I would STRONGLY suggest a PCIe adapter rather than a USB adapter if you go with WiFi 6. The only USB WiFi adapters that I have seen thus far use a Realtek chipset which is reported to have some serious flaws. In my own personal experience, I have tried 2 of these and returned both, getting performance worse than other WiFi 5 adapters and constant disconnects even 10 feet from my WiFi router. If you go with a USB adapter, I would suggest a quality WiFi 5 adapter. One more note: Should you decide to go with a WiFi 6 PCIe adapter, I would suggest a WiFi 6e model. They actually cost no more, and they are one step up just in case you ever go to a WiFi 6e router.
