  1. Wifi on my laptop is much worse than on my phone/in the past


    In the past i had a normal internet speed of 2,5mbps(about 220kb/s) via WIFI but i stopped using my laptop for 2 weeks.

    Now i got only 0.3~mbps(about 40kb/s) on my laptop, and on my phone i got it as in the past(220kb/s) after i ran some tests on speedtest.net

    I've been trying to reset ipv4/6 config, reinstall/reset the wireless and ethernet drivers

    I got windows 10 pro and a intel chipset(not sure of it's name)

    I tried to reset the router/laptop

    I got an metered connection

    I tried to change some values in network and sharing center as the indians in the yt tutorials said but none worked.

    Please help me I can't play any game/videos anymore!

    :)

    using mob phone connected to i/net via public wifi to connect laptop


    Hi, recently purchased new laptop with windows 10 installed. I currently use public/open wifi connection to connect to the internet for non private surfing (private matters dealt with via payg dongle). However, this open wifi connection can be erratic (whereas previous laptop running windows 7 connected as and when requested). Once connected, it is faultless and speedy enough for my needs. I have also marked this connection as ‘automatic’.
    I know that it is not the signal strength, it is simply the initial connection, with which my new laptop seems to struggle with! My screen shows all available networks so is picking up all correct signals. When I click ‘connect’ it will go through the motions for approx 2-3 seconds and then say ‘unable to connect to this network’ and other times, it will say ‘connecting’ and will go through these motions, and will continue to say ‘connecting’ for 15 minutes and longer or until I get sick of waiting!
    On the occasions when it does finally ‘connect’, it will begin with a message in the ‘action centre’ saying ‘click on message to connect to open wifi’-it will then go to the open/public wifi homepage and connect-from thereon, I am fine.
    Why won’t my laptop connect as easily to open wifi as last machine did on windows 7, and why does it continually say ‘unable to connect to internet’ or remain in ‘connecting’ mode?
    A further query I have (apologies) is when my laptop refuses to connect to internet as above, my mobile phone connects to the open wifi easily so I certainly know that it is not the distance that is in question, or the strength of signal-bearing this in mind, is it possible to connect my laptop and mobile phone via usb and possible to use my phone when it is connected to the open wifi source to connect my laptop to internet via this route? If so, would somebody give me step by step instructions to connect this way, please. The phone I currently have is a 3g sony xperia mini pro (which I am sure you can gather I have had for few years now!)
    Many thanks for all replies and all assistance is gratefully received.

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    Windows Phone and WiFi

    Hi Kari,

    To better assist you in connecting your phone to the WiFi connection, please answer the following questions:

    • Were you able to select the hotel's WiFi connection on the phone, then put the WiFi password? To connect the phone to a WiFi connection, just go to
      Settings> Network and wireless> Wi-Fi. Select the hotel's WiFi connection name, then type the WiFi password.
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Regards.
