Re: Peculiar speed issue

So you’re satisfied that all other wired and wireless connected machines are getting full upload and download speed?

Basically it’s just this one laptop that (recently) seems to have issues getting anything more than 200 or so Mbps download speed? Upload is fine though.

Did anything change on the laptop - new software, any app or OS updates, new peripherals? Anything?

Does this laptop have a built-in NIC or are you using a USB network adapter? Have you tried a different network adapter? Did you say you tried another laptop with the same or better result?

Its just this laptop, its had a windows update but TBH not sure if issues started then or not.

Everything else is getting decent speeds so must be somehting preculiar to thelaptop. I did swap the USB C dongle but still same so 99.99% its the laptop or lapto OS.

Definitely your machine then. Sounds to be software or OS related rather than hardware.

Hi,

I would recommend using a Live USB version of Linux (Ubuntu, possibly) to test your hardware. If the Live stick works fine then it could be an OS issue and you might want to switch to some other OS. If both the Live OS and the "resident" OS (i.e. Windows) both have issues then that would tell me that it's a hardware issue and you might want to change the hardware, if possible.

HTH,
