I hope this is the correct forum for this mail. I accept a Dell 7000 Series laptop running windows 10 and until recently I didn't take an issue with my bandwidth but now, I am getting all 200 Mbps on every device except the one I actually need it on... my work computer. I am only getting 32 Mbps period on this laptop, no more, no less. And so, I believe something in the figurer is limiting my bandwidth. My upload speed is fine at 12-fourteen Mbps, it'southward but my download speed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the network adapter, reset the network, and even reset the winsock entries and IPv4 and IPv6 stacks with no luck. I accept deleted numerous apps, restarted the computer, and cycled the modem and router. If this laptop had an ethernet port, I would plug it directly in just to cheque that fashion. I am completely frustrated at this betoken.
I am really hoping someone has some suggestions as to why this limit might be.

Wireless might be your issue. I'd suggest picking upwardly a cheap USB ethernet adapter and see if information technology improves the network speed.

Then every device with skillful downs is connected to the same network as the work pute?
The quieter y'all get, the more you are able to hear!

Is your device connecting to the router via ii.4Ghz or 5Ghz? If information technology's connecting via 2.4, try switching information technology to 5.

Is your device connecting to the router via two.4Ghz or 5Ghz? If it'south connecting via 2.4, try switching it to v.
I have tried it on both. However just getting 32 mbps.

It could be one of many things......software installs, malware, registry corruption, beginning upward processes etc etc.
If none of the usual networking solutions help, commencement looking elswhere for whats different about this detail client that runs on the same network.
Is information technology possible to reset this client....ie format and reinstall Os?
No-1 ever wants to hear this, but information technology often may salve hours upon weeks chasing your tail effectually, especially if its registry based.
Good luck 
The quieter you lot get, the more than y'all are able to hear!

No-ane always wants to hear this, merely information technology often may salvage hours upon weeks chasing your tail around, particularly if its registry based.
Proficient luck
I am just about at the point of doing the reset. I accept tried looking for malware, looking at everything that has been installed in the past few weeks, etc. I simply cannot find the problem.
I besides tested this computer on a dissimilar network yesterday and while I was able to go a little more bandwidth, it still wasn't getting the bandwidth that was available on the particular network (the other devices I tested on that network were getting 70 mbps and this computer was getting 44 mbps... which was a better percentage than what information technology is getting at home but still something is clearly not correct with the estimator.)
Thank you

Have you lot as well checked that the NIC supports the dual radio'southward (namely the 5ghz spectrum)?
Y'all could try an external USB NIC on this client at or above AC1200 and run into if this improves speeds before going down the OS format path.
I e'er acquit an Blastoff AWUS036NH in my kit for testing purposes as it also supports Linux/Mac/Windows.
The quieter you become, the more than yous are able to hear!

Try booting into a live Linux drive and test the hardware that manner. If you're still getting the slower speeds, its the NIC that's causing you the effect. How old is the laptop?

That's not a bad idea. I may effort that.
The laptop is less than a year old. In fact, I bought information technology at Best Purchase in January.
Also, to clarify, it was getting speeds in excess of 100 mbps but now suddenly I tin can only become 32 mbpps.

Yous could try an external USB NIC on this client at or to a higher place AC1200 and see if this improves speeds before going downwards the Bone format path.
I always carry an Alpha AWUS036NH in my kit for testing purposes equally information technology besides supports Linux/Mac/Windows.
It does. And previously it had been getting upward of 100 mbps, then it suddenly wouldn't go higher up 32 mbps. I cannot figure it out.
I had thought that possibly it was something with the router but when I was getting poor bandwidth on a different network at a different house yesterday, that sort of solidified in my mind that it has to exist something with the computer.
If I were to connect to ethernet, I would definitely have to utilise an external adapter anyway as, in their space wisdom, Dell decided this laptop did not need an ethernet port. How you lot can say a laptop is business organization course and non include an ethernet port is across me.

Got it!
Evidently 1 of the pieces of software Dell provides is something called Smartbyte by Rivet Networks. What it does is manage bandwidth.
Deleted Smartbyte and just like that, 200 mbps on my laptop. Woohoo!
