Download speed hell

Hi everyone,

so I'm having quite some problems with downloads speeds. Some context: I have done a clean windows installation becuase I changed motherboard and processor. Previously when using Steam I had download speed that were near the 600Mbps that I have. Happens that now it is restraing for some reason to 5/7 Mbps at best. I have tried to download other things from sources that use and the same drop of speed has occurred.

I have tried a lot of things that I have found on many sites, but none of them have fixed the issue. I have to add something important. When I (accidentally) logged in my Microsoft account the issue was resolved (Steam speed went to what I used to have) but then, when I log out, it all when back wrong. I tried to log in again but now it doesn't work.

You changed motherboard? Are you using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable?

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

I'm sure that it was resolve for the amount of time that I was logged in before I logged out becuase the Steam download went from 3GB to 30GB in a very short amount of time

I'm using ethernet. Network setup was working fine before the upgrade and it worked for that amount of time that I have described above

Things I have tried:

-Edit the Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level

-Changint the QoS Packet Scheduler

-Changing the Windows optimization distributiion

-Reseting network configuration

-Turning off the firewall

None of it has worked and I can't find anything else to try

 

Note: I don`t have a 3rd party anitvirus

Have you downloaded the latest drivers? Straight from the vender, so if you have intel NIC go to intel site and download straight from there.

Maybe do an antivirus scan to see if any Malware is clogging up your routers bandwidth

My Laptop: A MacBook Air 

My Desktop: Don’t have one 

My Phone: An Honor 8s (although I don’t recommend it)

My Favourite OS: Linux

My Console: A Regular PS4

My Tablet: A Huawei Mediapad m5

But this is really weird. It wored while I was logged in with the Microsoft account. It must have taking the configuration that it had stored and then it changed it back when I logged out.

Ok, probably a hardware issue related to your motherboard and its wifi chip if it has one

My Laptop: A MacBook Air 

My Desktop: Don’t have one 

My Phone: An Honor 8s (although I don’t recommend it)

Read above, it worked fine and then it didn't. Also, speed test is perfect. It has to be a setting.

I tried downloading a big file from OneDrive and it seem to be too slow. Same thing when I just downloaded the nertwork adapter drivers.
