Hello,

 

Ive recently brought my desktop to university with me to play some online games. (Call of Duty, League of Legends etc..) My schools residence forces us to use wifi however its not that bad, decent ping and consistently around 1 mbps download for each device. However I'm having some issues with my desktop that I'm not having with any of my other devices ( I have a phone and a Macbook Pro as well) The problem seems to be every 36 hours or so the internet will go from 1 mbps to a woefully slow 100 kbps or so for around 15 hours, this creates huge lag in games making it impossible to play. It seems there's nothing I can do. The computer is freshly factory restored so I don't feel like its conflicting internally. I've also updated my PCI based ASUS network card to the latest drivers and also made sure the antennas are properly oriented. If it matters my specs are an i5 3570, GTX 970 MSI H77 motherboard. If there is any other information you think might be useful to helping with this problem just ask and I will find it. Thank you.

Your Uni is sharing it's bandwidth with all the dorms. There isn't really anything you can do.

See this is what I would think but my Macbook Pro has no problems. Its speed never fluctuates whatever I do. Whether it be playing games downloading things. Its always the same.
