    WiFi on my computer is significantly slower than it is on other devices.


    I recently got a new WiFi subscription which is advertised as 1200 Megabits/second. On most devices I get at least 500-600, but on my PC I can't seem to get more than 40-50. This only counts for my download speeds, as my upload speeds are the same if not higher on my PC. I have already followed all the advice on this thread: [Solved] Internet is slower on my pc than any other device in the - Microsoft Community. - Except: "Disable Energy Efficient Ethernet in "Client for Microsoft Networks," as I was unable to locate this setting on my Windows 11 device.I have reset my router multiple times.

    :)

    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.

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

    Well, that's interesting. *Smile

    In several of your posts such as #6 & #17, a cmd window has shown the active wireless card to be the 1397. It can't be anything different, however; that doesn't suggest the 7260 card can't be sitting idle and without drivers.

    Post a screenshot of the network adapters expanded, from the device manager and look for the missing wireless card or an exclamation mark next to an unknown device (possibly within an 'other devices' category.

    The card is either present in the PC or not present. Maybe the PC didn't get the planned upgraded card before delivery. One step at a time and we'll sort this out. *Smile
