Why is this happening?

Steliosem06

Ive had all of my pcs in the same room and spot for my whole life,and the internet connection has always been horrible in my computer.Why is this happening? My other pc witch is WAY more far from the router than this pc has outstanding speeds and almost reaches the internet speed my company provides me.Ive tried multiple antennas,different wlan pcie cards, even the one i have in the other pc and always the connection is terrible.Take a look by yourself:

 

My pc's wifi speed:

My phones internet speed (I did the test on the same room)

And my other pc's connection:

Oh. Well it looked like the Ethernet 10 Mbps cap looking at the speed.

Long enough cables exist. As long as you have a good quality cable you should run considerably faster over it. Preferably get a cable that matches your baseboards and run the cable along. I have done this in multiple places in my house and it looks like a little accent on the baseboards. (white on white)

Crap WiFi adapter?

Bad antenna angle/placement?

Something is blocking the reception on that PC?

 

When it comes to WiFi, even a slight positional change can make a whole lot of difference.

yes,changing the position does fix it a bit sometimes,but it never gets over 20mb/s

That explains a lot, it only supports 2.4Ghz and SISO (I think) thus the 150Mbit claim.  Its extremely outdated and not surprised you are struggling at the speeds you are.

well,my other pc (3rd pic) has a usb wifi adapter.I bought it for less than 20 bucks new and it can reach about 50mb/s easily.

 

Exact model is 

Realtek RTL8821AU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB 2.0 Network Adapter

Neither adapter are great but that second is considerably newer technology and supports 5Ghz which if you are connecting on that frequency would explain the difference.

Do you know what make and model your router is?

I dont know if its like this in other countries but in Greece our internet providers give us our routters.Noone really buys other routers.So yeah I have a Cosmote router.(Cosmote is my internet provider)It does say sercom on the back so i dont know if thats the company.

 

Also is this a good option or should i just buy what my other pc has?

You’re approaching this the wrong way: throwing things to see what sticks. You’ll just end up accumulating quite a collection of expensive adapters!

 

While your ISP can put their brand on internet devices, they are usually made by another company. Look around on the Sercom device to see if you can find a model number. By doing this, we’ll be able to tell what generation of WiFi it supports and if you’d benefit from a newer-generation adapter.

 

Keep in mind that interference plays a big part in WiFi slowdowns, which the uninformed will attribute to “bad internet”. In that vein,

  1. Run a WiFi survey using WiFi Analyzer (post screenshot of the ‘Analyze’ page on 2.4GHz and 5GHz on a PC that has dual-band WiFi)
  2. Post screenshots of the WiFi settings from the Cosmote webadmin interface

OK, so it supports wireless-AC.

 

Have you run the wireless survey?

 

And what about the WiFi settings (please hide any passwords)?

what are wifi settings?You mean that site that comes up when you enter your ip on the search bar?

Oh, dear!

 

When you enter the local IP of the Speedport Plus into your browser, navigate to the screens on pages 86 and 93 from the manual.

Well sorry for not answering but i went to the store a few hours ago and got the TP link Archer T2U Plus and it works great.It gets my full internet provider's speed (50mb/s) and im like 3 really dense walls away from my router! Pretty impressive especially when you compare it to all the sh*t i had previously.And actually that tp link pcie card i used before (TL-WN781ND)bought this is a new product lineup from tp link (I think they came out around 2020)!I cant believe they are even allowed to sell these things.

 

Anyway heres a speed test i did with the Archer T2U Plus:

Its still not a great WiFi adapter (though infinitely better than what you had), but as long as it gets your full speed it doesn't really matter.
