Hi,
This is my first post, heard about this forum on LinusTechTips youtube channel, and thought you might be able to help me with this problem.
I built a gaming PC a couple of weeks ago using the Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard, it has on-board wifi.
I also have two laptops and two tablets in my house, on these devices through speedtest.net I can consistently get a download speed of 40+mb/s on the laptops and between 20 & 30mb/s on the tablets. However on the PC I've built with the Asus motherboard, I'm consistently getting around 2.5mb/s regardless of any, or lack of any, activity from other devices on the network.
I also get these speeds at 2 other houses I've taken the PC to.
Things I've done so far:
-Update the drivers for the Wireless LAN from the Asus website
-Move the wireless antennas around that are plugged in to the motherboard
-For unrelated reasons I reinstalled windows
None of these made any difference.
I'm unable to plug the PC in via ethernet due to the modem being in someone else's bedroom, even if it helped it wouldn't be a permanent solution. Asus have said to send it back to the supplier for RMA, but I can't be bothered, this is my first self build and I'm satisfied with everything but the wifi speed, I don't want to inadvertently mess anything up by taking it apart and putting it back together.
Anyway... any help you could offer would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Daryl
