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

 

Very Low Downloading Speed

Hello,

I bought new Dell Laptop with Window 10 64 bit Home. It has Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265.

I am Using BSNL Wi fi.

After using sometime, I found that downloading speed is very low as compared to my previous laptop which is also Dell with Windows 7 32 Bit.

I did Speed Test on Both Laptops with same router and at a same distance. (Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test)

New Laptop has Downloading Speed 3.65 Mbps whereas Old laptop has 8.7 Mbps.

I did every possible steps available on Google but Not success. My Windows and All drivers are Updated to this date.

Any Help Please.

 

Very Low Downloading Speed

Hi,



Thank you for posting on our Microsoft Community.



Download speed also depends on the kind of network adapter that you have on a computer. We would suggest that you uninstall the network driver, restart your computer after to let Windows install a new driver for your Windows 10 computer.



To uninstall your network driver, follow the steps below:

• Click Start, type Device Manager, and press
  Enter. Alternatively, you can also press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the options.
• Find and double-click the category of device whose driver you wish to uninstall (for example, the graphics card would be listed under Display Adapters).
  
• Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
• Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.
  
• After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Let us know if this helps.
