Posted November 2, 2017 Define "slow" How are you measuring "slow", are you running speedtests, what background processes are going, is something downloading while you try to watch?

Posted November 2, 2017 Do you get the same results on other devices like phones or other computers? How far away from the router are you? What model laptop and what model router?

Could you link to the actual speedtest.net results, and let us know the exact make and model of your wireless modem / router as well as the devices you're testing with?

Posted November 3, 2017 @brandonmufc06 What I usually find is people on the same network are using it. Usually, one way to troubleshoot the problem is to unplug the Ethernet wires, factory resetting the router (for peace of mind)* and finally plugging each device onto the router. Gradually you will find the culprit. Coming from a guy who buys 175mbps that was only getting 70mbps. If it's a laptop connect a Ethernet cord directly in and see if anything changes during the speed test. (Streaming a vid rn) *If any configuration are wrong resetting should fix it. Last case scenario would be calling your internet service provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
