Slow Wi Fi Swift SF 113-31

Cybernerd

My laptop Wifi speed is very slow.  Around 17 mbs down and 20 up while other devices achieve 104 down and 20 up on the same channel and network in the same room.  Even sitting next to my D-Link DIR-882 router.  I am running Widows 10 and the drivers are up-to-date.  The laptop is around six months old.

Hi Cybernerd,
  These are some simple steps that you can follow to get rid of slow internet issue.

1) Close the Peer to Peer Update Process on Your Computer

1:  To start off, Click Start and then go ahead type Settings to open it.

 2:  Next select Update and Security

3:Now under update and security click on Advanced option in the middle of the screen.

4:  Click on Choose How Updates are Delivered.

5:Turn off the on button by sliding the bar to off.

Next step is Quit your background apps

Some of the apps that take up a lot of your internet whilst it runs in the background include the following and turning them off makes a huge impact on internet speed.

•  Steam

• ***** Applications

• Antivirus (Virus Database Update)

• EA Origin

• Cloud Sharing Applications

 Find out which of your apps take up most of your Internet

 Here’s how you can see which of your apps take up most of the internet and how to turn it off.

 1:  Start off by right-clicking the Windows Task bar. Open Task Manager. (You can also search on your computer )

 2: Once you’re in your Task Manager’s menu, click on the Performance tab.

3: Click on Open resource monitor.(on bottom of page)

4:  Lastly, click on the Network tab and check for all your apps or services that have a high number of send and receive requests.

The way it works is, the higher the number, then it shows that these apps or services are taking a chunk  of your internet bandwidth.

5: Quitting your Apps

Since now you have an idea or sort of which of the apps or services that takes up most of your internet, you can now get onto disabling them.

1:  Click on Start and then select your Settings

 2:  Next click on Privacy, and then Background apps. Here’s where you can turn Off for the apps and services that feed off your internet. So turn off the ones you don't use, if you have'nt done this before.

Disable Windows Auto-Tuning feature

 1:  Go ahead and press on your keyboard Windows key + X and then select Command Prompt(Admin).

 2:  Next, type the command netsh interface tcp show global in the window.

 3:  Now you are going to check for Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level and if you find that it is set to normal, then you will need to disable it.

4: Finally, again type another command netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled to disable it.

Note: If after checking internet speed this does not make a difference you can re-enable Windows Auto-Tuning level back just by typing in the command  netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal in the Command Prompt (Admin).

Uninstall and reinstall the network drivers.

Windows logo key + X ( on keyboard).

Click on device manager from left panel.

Click on Arrow by the side of Network adaptors.

Check for wifi adaptor, Right click and click uninstall( Make sure you un-check delete driver as we are not deleting any driver)

Restart the computer to get a fresh driver installed .Now check the internet speed.

 All these steps should really resolve the issue. Please let me know if this helped

I really appreciate all the effort you have gone to to help me  Unfortunately it's made no difference.  One thing I did notice.  When I did my reset with a fresh install the wifi speed was similar ti my iPhone.  As time went on it deteriorated to around 20% of what it was
