Predator Helios 300 - Very Slow WiFi

Good morning fellow Predator users, I just bought my son his second Predator Helios 300 and I noticed while I was setting it up, that it was downloading super slow. His first Predator laptop would download lighting fast. I noticed that the new laptop has MIMO technology and it is twice as fast. Is there a setting that I need to adjust or disable to get faster downloads? It took 45 minutes to download a 20 MB file, that is not acceptable. Don’t know if the laptop is defective and if it is I need to return it for a new one. Anyone out there go through the same? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

By default you would receive manufactured wireless drivers which may be outdated. i would suggest you to visit acer website to download wireless drivers and install it. Post this restart the device to take the effect and check the performance.

Sure. Open Device Manager. Click network adapter folder. Right click on the wifi adapter. Select properties. Click advanced tab. Click preferred band. If set to no preference, try 2.4GHz band. If no joy, then try the 5GHz band. Jack E/NJ

Hi Acer you need to tell people to turn of predator sense pairing and watch your download speeds go back to normal.

Allphasephil again u can keep spamming all other threads what youre doing its considered spam and reviving old threads and again what youre saying doesnt have nothing to do with the issue plus this is not acer support if you want to make any complaint or advice to acer contact them directly we arent acer employees were just all normal users like you that are here voluntary to help the best way we can/know seems to me you just created your account to say/spam the same on all threads if you have any issues please feel free to post them in a new thread and were happy to help

Have a good day
