Hardwired pc slower on downloads than my wireless iphone

What gives? Why would there be such a gross disparity between devices when they are all connecting via wifi? Jan 23, 1 5, Usually, yes. You can change the router channel to something that doesn't overlap with neighboring networks to try to increase the speed. Is the laptop dual band 5 GHz or 2. Lots of cheaper models only have a single-band WiFi card. Dell Wireless So yes its 2. So does that make it impossible to achieve higher download speeds?

Any recommendations on dual stream dual band PCI-based cards? My current card is a half card with dual antennae, I assume getting a card with triple antennae will still fit into the slot and be compatible? You must log in or register to reply here.

XFi wired connection slower than wifi. Hi, I currently have an internet plan for speeds up to mbps. I understand it is unlikely I will get that speed. The NIC is 1Gbps capable. Matthew Golden's Ownd. Windows 10 should detect the network adapter then reinstall it. Check if you can connect and browse. If the network connection is slow or lagging, check if Windows 10 is downloading Windows Update or the Microsoft Store is downloading updates. These can sometimes affect the performance your network connection.

If you have a VPN enabled, disable it. Disable the Windows Firewall then try connecting. If the connection is slow, remove any special bundled software that came with the motherboard.

In reply to Andre for Directly's post on March 30, Thank you, but none of these affected the download speed in any way. Hi nitroww. Did you or any other family member configure your new router? Try disabling Bluetooth on your PC temporarily.

There are a lot of benefits to using Wi-Fi. Running a server over Wi-Fi is not one of them. However, we cannot connect to the Internet on our smartphones or any other mobile device using an ethernet cable. So, Wi-Fi is a necessity.

Luckily, most modems and routers come with integrated hardware that supports both wired and wireless connections. Wi-Fi is obviously more convenient than a wired connection for many reasons.

But, a wired connection is more reliable than a wireless one. This can happen when many devices connect to the same network simultaneously. For example, there are four computers in a house, and all four family members are using them to surf the web. Almost every solid object in our homes can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal. In these circumstances, we need to add a range extender.

Home alone with nobody to interfere with the connection is great. But, when the entire family comes back from the trip, they took without you and hopped online. Oh, no! Netflix started buffering in the middle of the video. Imagine the water pressure at home when one person is using the tap. We know for sure that the latency is high when we are on a video call or playing games online. Our reflexes are good enough to catch it, we can already see ourselves catching it, but our hand reaches its destination when the deed is done.

This is how lag works. When we encounter a slow internet connection, the reason might be that our router or modem is outdated. It can also mean that our smartphone or laptop requires an update or even an upgrade.
