Internet Speed Issues.

A Comcast technician just left my house and fixed my internet issue from a few days ago. He had to replace the cable outside. Anyways, The laptop in the same room (2009 Macbook) as the router is getting 91Mb/s down and 12Mb/s up. My Alienware X51 is in the room right next to it. It's about 20 feet or so away from the router. I'm getting 33Mb/s down and 12Mb/s up. My OnePlus One is in the same room as my X51, but it is getting 50Mb/s down. The other thing is that my dad's Mac Mini is getting better speeds than my computer, and is a lot farther from the router... It's getting 55Mb/s down. I don't even.

 

Anyways, is this a driver thing? I've already turned my computer off and back on... I don't know what else to put here, so just ask me anything.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Connect all the devices via ethernet cable then tell us your results.

Wireless speeds depends on a ton of things, such as signal strength, shape of the path, line of sight, wall materials, etc...

I can't really move my desktop and my desk over to my other room.

 

Yeah try reinstalling your lan drivers and see if that works

Where would I find that? Is it model specific? I'll try to find it.

Can't. I don't even have an ethernet cable long enough.

what I have seen with desktop wifi adapters is that they are generally shitty compared to integrated laptop wifi cards, ecpecally the USB wifi adapters. You may need to get a different wifi card. A cheaper option is to get an ethernet cord, I was able to get one for $5 that ran 25 feet from http://monoprice.com.

Go into the router settings and turn off any QoS and things like that. I had a similar issue and when I did this I no longer had speed issues.

It sounds like a hardware issue. If updating your drivers doesn't solve the problem than you can upgrade your wifi card.

Well... It seems like I have to change rooms anyways so I'm going to be running a wired connection now. I'll update this thread once I move.

Sounds like it's just wireless to me.  I don't think there are any problems.
