    Wireless Speed is slow and limited in windows 10


    Hello!


    I know this topic is asked many times, but I still didn't find any solution for my issue.

    The problem is my wireless speed is not normal, it is limited/capped to ~4Mbps (~500KB/s), it should be ~60Mbps to connect to the internet.

    I found some points regarding this issue.

    • My wireless speed is normal in Ubuntu, with the same device. It means that the problem is not my hardware, the problem is in Windows driver or software.
    • My wireless transfer speed is limited to ~4Mbps when I copy a file from a local network location (my PC).
    • I tried to install and re-install network drivers.
    • I even fresh install windows into a new disk (I just bought a new disk to replace this laptop's old one), and the problem occurs before I install lot of programs.
    • The speed still limited using 802.11bg connection (Its different, limited at ~16Mbps).
    • I tried many 'common ways' starting from flushing dns, reinstall drivers, and etc.
    • My wireless network interface is Qualcomm Atheros AR956x.
    • LAN connection using cable does not have any problem.

    Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much.

    :)

    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

    Windows 10 Home - WIFI Slow internet speed - limited

    Hi,

    I Have installed on my brand new laptop windows 10 Home "already updated", I have a 10 Mbps internet connection but only reaches 1.2 Mbps, I ran a speed test on my phone that uses the same WiFi and is reaching 9 Mbps. Something is limiting the bandwidth
    almost in 90% of its capacity, WiFi driver is Updated and I'm sitting next to the modem to get a better signal strength and I get full signal bars but the speed still the same, I already tried some basic troubleshooting suggested by Microsoft but still does
    not work, I don't think something is consuming the bandwidth because my phone gets a good speed. I don't know what else to do.

    Modified title from: Windows 10 Home - WIFI Slow internet speed - limited !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
