Wifi Download Speed Slow Upload Fast
I've been dealing with an issue for a while now and after trying a few different things.. I'm running out of ideas.
Here's the situation:
I'd like to add that, this happens only on my desktop/windows pc.
It's no affecting my laptops (linux, w10) iMac, phone, etc.
This is what I have tried so far:
Countless: PC resets. Router resets, >ipconfig /release /renew, plug in/out TP-Link WA
Wireless adapter: 300Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter TL-WN823N
Router: ZTE F660 v2.2
Reformatted and fresh installed windows.
Uninstalling XFast Lan (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2273733/slow-internet-speeds-computer-solved.html) It went up by 1.2mbs. I'll uninstall/reinstall all my AsRock drivers again and see if it changes anything.
MB:AsRock H61M-VG3
Drivers should be up to date. Except for windows, I'm running (updated) w7u x64 on my desktop.
TP-Link Utility (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1647291/link-wn951n-slow-130mbps.html?56055cef06636=reload) as well as my router's. Didn't work as I don't seem to be able to actually change things.
Social activities/calling ISP. They have no idea what's causing it. Asked if my ISP was throttling me, they said nope. Makes sense, since this seems like an isolated problem.
Tried to change my security > WPA-PSK /WPA2-PSK to WPA/WPA2.
Any suggestions?
[Update]
After another fresh install (windows+drivers) this is what I've got:
15-18 Dw speed. 10Up speed.
Still not there yet. Not sure what's causing this either.
Update 2
Back to square one. Today I turn on my computer to find out that I am stuck with 7mbs.
Help?
Final Update
Solved!
Fast upload, slow download on wireless bridge? The upload speed remains the same. Slow internet on laptop but fast on phone Oct 2, 2014. How to Fix Slow Download/Upload Speed on Windows 10: I have mentioned the usual culprits behind the Internet slowdown. Perform these steps until your problem gets resolved. Also run a Speedtest each time you perform a step. [box type=”info” ]The Internet Guru once said, “Restarting the WiFi Router fixes 99% of your Internet issues.
I am having a speed issue with my wireless connection - only on my laptop. All other devices are fine.
- I removed that router and replaced it with a switch and my speed tests were. Anybody know why having this 2nd router destroyed my speeds?
- Slow Download Speed, Fast Upload speed. Question Steam downloading gets really slow, and slows down wi-fi speed to other devices. Started by jacktomada.
Network configurationCISCO DPC3825 Cable Modem in bridge modeASUS N56U Dual Band Router. Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.374_239 (checked that this is the latest available)Multiple devices connected to the Router (DELL laptop Inspiron N1501, Android Smartphone, IPhone4S, Macbook Pro, XBMC/Pivos and Canon Pixma printer). All are connected wirelessly except the PIVOS which is through Ethernet.Also connected to the router is my external USB hard drive (2TB).The ASUS router I just bought a couple of weeks ago and have set it up myself.
Problem/Issue All devices that are connected to the router are working fine through the wireless connection - except the DELL laptop (which I used to set up and monitor the router). When I connect to the router through Ethernet cable I get excellent speeds of 50Mbps (higher than the rated promised speed of 30Mbps). However when connected through wireless it barely crawls and I get 2 Mbps max..measured using speedtest.net. I am using DELL laptop (INSPIRON N1501 Intel i3 with Windows 8 64bit 250GB 4MB RAM)
This problem has started only since the new router/modem combination was installed last week. Prior this I was using the a different router/modem (SMC Gateway with DLink DIR657) and it was fine. Switched as cable service provider now providign free modem and I was advised to get the ASUS router for its good performance.
Given that the issue is only with this laptop and only when using the wireless connection I suspect the problem lies there and most likely in the wireless network adapter. However being a novice in networking I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I am providing the following information if some one can help or provide some pointers of what to do.
Laptop & Network Adapter detailsMy laptop (INSPIRON N1501 Intel i3 with Windows8 250GB 4MBRAM) has a Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter.

Just to add: there is 1 additional network adapter - not sure what they are for!

Thank you in advance for your input and advice. If the above information is inadequate and more details are required please let me know how to get them (as I am networking novice!)

Are you using the same wifi channel as your old modem? Your new router might be using a busy channel by default with lots of interference. You can check with inSSIDer.
Try a different wifi encryption method on your router, or turn it off briefly to test.See if you get much difference between WPA2 and WPA (don't bother with WEP). If you turn off encryption, you should see a roughly 20% improvement in speed, but beware that anyone can see your data.

Check your event logs and make sure your wifi card and driver is happy.

Beyond that, you can try installing Wireshark and looking at the traffic for some clues (however it's not particularly friendly towards the network novice).
