Hi All,
Thanks for your input.. Let me go through the process I did... Two laptops both on windows 8.1. One laptop connected by cable to router and the other one in another room connected by wifi. Using BT infinity 5 fiber optic cable I got 76Mbps download speed and 33 Mbps upload speed on the laptop connected via cable to router. The other laptop, connected via wifi, had a download speed of 43 Mbps and upload of 22 Mbps. The modem and router is the latest from BT.
Upgrade to windows 10 Home edition and the following reading were recorded with NO other changes of equipment etc. Using the same router and router driver connected via the same cable to the laptop the speeds c
dropped to 33 Mbps download and 14 Mbps upload. The wifi computer has also been upgraded and the speed has dropped to 14 Mbps download and 7.2 Mbps upload speed.
