Windows 10: Windows 10 Networking / WiFi Problems

Hi everyone,

I have this really weird problem.

My WiFi network speed is incredibly slow. My PC sits next to a Mac and that Mac has absolutely no speed issues whatsoever. I can easily get 150 Mb/s consistently.

Since updating my PC, about two weeks ago, I have a consistent issue with download and upload speeds. Right now, it's 464 kB/s. I have unistalled and reinstalled drivers. I have thorough scanned the system with Malwarebytes and there's nothing I can find. I have no idea what to do now.

Whenever I reboot, I have to uninstall the drivers and then reinstall to get some sort of connectivity.

Does anyone have any clues for me, please?

Is there some diagnostic software that I can run?

I've tried everything I can find, and nothing seems to get me back up to speed.

Many thanks in advance!

Wifi network not appearing after recent Win 10 monthly patch

Someone else on another forum suggested I switch the wifi freq on my Android Nexus 5x. So I switched it from 5ghz to 2.4 and it worked! Problem solved. Now my Nexus hotspot is again appearing in my Win 10 list of available wifi networks. So problem was with Android and not Windows.

 

Wifi and browser problems with windows 10


I'll tell you how I fixed an identical problem on a ASUS laptop that had run perfectly on Windows 7 and ran well on W10 from January until the Anniversary update in early August. I tried everything I found on this forum and two others. Nothing worked. The last thing someone suggested was disabling the adapter and using a WiFi dongle. Problem continued. Nobody suggested changing the wireless network adapter. I bought and installed an Intel 7260 WiFi card and just used the driver which was downloaded on the reboot after the install. All problems solved!!

I must have wasted two months reading and trying everything. Even the manufacturer support inferred I needed a new machine though they sent me a Windows 8.1 driver to try, with the same result.

I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to determine if they white list any cards and see if they have suggestions for a compatible card. They may want you to buy another laptop but if the cards aren't white listed, a simple card swap to one compatible with Windows 10 seems to be the answer.

 

No wifi networks Windows 10

Hello Pete,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are not able to connect to a wifi network after upgrading to Windows 10.
We appreciate your efforts in troubleshooting the issue and providing us the detailed information about the issue.

This issue may occur if unsupported VPN software is installed in Windows 8.1 and is present during the upgrade to Windows 10. Older software versions contain a filter driver (the Deterministic Network Enhancer) that is not upgraded
correctly.

Method 1:


Registry disclaimer: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the
registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Please take a backup of the registry. Follow the steps given in the link below:

How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

I suggest you refer and follow the steps mentioned in the KB article and check if it resolves the issue
Computer that has VPN software installed can't detect wireless network after upgrading
to Windows 10

Method 2: Make sure your router is set to broadcast the network name.

• 
  
  1. Connect your PC to the router using an Ethernet cable.
     
  2. Open a web browser and type the IP address for your wireless router. (For example, 192.168.1.1 or 172.16.0.0—check the documentation for your router to find the default IP address.)
     
  3. Sign in with your user name and password, then make sure an option labeled Enable SSID Broadcast, Wireless SSID broadcast, or
     something similar is turned on. This setting is often on a Wireless Settings page.

If the issue persists, I suggest you refer and follow the suggestions on how to
