Internet speed woes, need help

patrick47018 · Nov 10, 2013

Hello, I am on a wireless connection and normally my speeds are about 30Mbps down and 50Mbps up. After about 5 to 10 minutes my speeds go down to less than 1Mbps up and down. And if I reset my wireless adapter it is back to normal for a little while, and then back into the viscous cycle that is ruining my online gaming. What is the problem? And what can I do to fix it?

Thanks

Wireless adapter: Hawking HWUN4 Hi-Gain Wireless adapter

another thing you could check if the router is not on top of the desk or on a shelf that reduce the signal power try to have a direct signal between both .

Yeah I'm in a dorm so it isn't direct, but that is why I had to get a hueg antenna adapter

could it be that there is to many people that connect ot the service and system could not handle and drop speed ,the other you could try if you could put a extended usb cable to the antenna to raise her higher .
