computer is throttling my internet speeds?

[mockles]

hi, im receiving 40mbps everywhere in my house, except on my computer

i have a range extender that connects to the computer, when its plugged into a different device it has normal speeds. when its plugged into my computer i get 3mb/s.

I've tried antimalware and different lan and chipset drivers for my motherboard.

my motherboard is b450 aorus m.

So your PC is plugged into the range extender, or your router? Or both at the same time?

Ok,

 

So, if you plug the range extender into other devices, they get full speeds.

What if you run a cat5 net cable straight to your router, and plug to your PC, removing the range extender, what happens?

How far away is your PC from your router?

Im sorry, i dont have a cable long enough to test that.

my router is in the middle of my house, the range extender is in my room with my pc. it's had a great connection for like half a year. Also the slow speeds are on and off (i forgot to mention that)

Ok, plug your PC into the range extender as normal.

download and run pingplotter (https://www.pingplotter.com/) and look for packet loss (the program is quote simple to use)

I want to see where the fault may be.

PM, take a screen shot, run it through MS Paint and scribble out the IP address.
