My laptop is getting very low downloads speeds compared to everything else in my house
My laptop is getting 8 mbps on a download from Steam, to make sure it's not just Steam, I tried with other apps and an internet speed test and the results have been consistent. My phone reads 85 mbps on an internet speed test and my fiance's laptop downloads things fine and the speed test was 80 mbps. I don't understand how to fix this, I've tried a lot of things so far so I'm just going to list them.
- Checked for other downloads or background processes
- Restarted computer
- Reset router
- Tried Ethernet (same speed)
- Reset network from settings menu
- Checked for drivers updates in device manager (none)
- Checked for Windows updates (none)
- Changed adapter to only use 5 GHz
- Reinstalled Windows
- I ran several commands through the CMD window that I read about online.
- Turned off power saving features for network adapter.
Nothing has worked, it's consistently the same result. If I go to my settings, my adapter shows how much internet it's reading, which is 79 million bytes, so that's reading correctly. It's like my computer has the Internet, but won't distribute it.
