Windows 10: Windows !0 Internet Download Speeds

I own three Mac Computers which I purchased only after I could run my Windows programs on them. I have a 2009 desktop, a 2018 desktop, and, as of a few days ago, a brand new 2020 MacBook Pro. All three have partitioned hard drives, the 2008 on Windows 7, the 2018 and 2020 on Windows 10. I have a cable modem, with a RAX 75 Netgear wireless router. My Internet download speed test is 114 at the router, and my computers operate at 114 under Apple's OS. With my brand spanking new 2020, I get 114 under the Mac OS, and 1 to 2 under Windows 10. 802.11ax has been disabled on the router since I purchased it.


When trying to isolate the problem, I ran speed tests under Windows 10 on my 2018 desktop. Again, 114, until yesterday. I made the mistake of downloading the new Edge. Windows internet download speed dropped to 54.


What is the problem? It must be serious when the Windows 10 download speeds aren't even 1/100th the download speeds on the identical equipment under the Apple OS. Why would the new Edge cut internet download speeds in half?


Most importantly, is there a fix?

Browsing speed is fast, but download speed is 0

I'm currently using Windows 10 and netcomm nb604n router.

Problem:
Web browsing on chrome/edge/firefox works fast, but my download speed from majority of websites start around 10kb/s and eventually (in a few minutes) decrease to 0kb/s.

Here are some example files that does this:
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/1.0.1/providers/virtualbox.box
Git for Windows (there is a download button)

When I am downloading from utorrent, or when I installed the Unity engine through Unity's installer, my download speed was fine.

Things that I have tried:

1. Running the test on speedtest.net. It says that my download speed is 18MB/s and upload speed is 1Mb/s. Of course this doesn't demonstrate the actual speed that I'll get when downloading/uploading from a server, but my ISP is using this to say that there is no problem on their side.
   
2. Taking my router, filter, and all cables to another house and downloading the same files that I couldn't download. This worked perfectly fine, so I'm guessing that my equipment is not the issue.
   
3. Using both wireless and LAN on a brand new computer and an old laptop. The problem exists in all cases.
   
4. Resetting and restarting the router. Did not do anything.
   
5. Changing the mtu settings as suggested on Windows 7, download speeds drop to 0 kb/s and the download has to be restarted
   Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue.
   
6. Calling my ISP to make sure that they weren't throttling my network. They are denying any fault on their end, and are claiming that there is something wrong with my computer or my router but refusing to provide a solution.
   

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on what I could try to resolve this issue, please let me know!

 

Slow Download Speed

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

• I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
• I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
  
• You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.
  

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you
