Desktop only gets 40 but all other devices get 150 why ? hel


[link to this post] 		 
We have been upgraded to 150/30. All my other devices I-phone & i-pad all get the proper speed but my desktop only gets 40 (at best) / 15. Please advise if it is the PC or am I doing anything wrong. Just tested my phone whist sitting at the PC & got 145.30 so it is a problem with the PC but as I am not up on the tecnicals please help

For the desktop are you using a cable or a wireless connection?

Then it could be the Wi-Fi version in your computer. My mobile phone is lucky to hit 100 and yet my Mac will hit over 450 on Wi-Fi, not that I use Wi-Fi on my Mac normally. Always best to use Ethernet if you can

Your Wi-Fi card or adaptor in your PC will be running on the 2.4GHz band, which will quite often tend to max out at around 40meg.

You need to change the Wi-Fi adaptor or card and make sure it has the 5GHz Wi-Fi band in it and using it, then you'll find you'll get the full speed.

is your pc a branded one ? A make and model may help to work out what wifi card is in your machine
