My phone which is sitting very close to my PC gets a speed about 50Mbps but the actual PC itself gets about 2Mbps. The last router i had it was the otherway around, except the lowest was 30 instead of 2

 

Is this a router problem or a card problem? 

how about a why-does-your-phone-have-to-be-on-same-wifi-as-pc problem?

OK your pc usually shows speeds in MBytes and your phone shows speeds in Mbits.

Bytes are larger than Bits

Your pc is either bottle necked some how or your Ethernet card is having issues.

Do a hard restart of your machine ... turn it off completely and then turn it back on after 10-15 seconds. try that first.

What wireless revision are they?

What wireless revision is your router?

Is the desktop behind anything? Is the wireless antenna behind anything?

Have you tried moving the router? Moving the PC?
