internet speed slow on pc quick on iPad

CullenSmith · Apr 29, 2014

I receive 54 MBs on Ipad and Phone But my pc only gets 2.3MBs can anyone hep me with this please... thnks

Someone Somewhere · Apr 29, 2014

Is that MB/s or Mb/s? There's an 8x difference.

Did you test with Speedtest.net or similar on the tablet/phone, or is that the link rate?

CullenSmith :

Where are you getting these figures from? From an internet speed checking website or from your wireless strength?

Someone Somewhere :

Mb/s and I used the ookla speed check

Someone Somewhere · Apr 29, 2014

On the phone/tablet, or on the PC?

CullenSmith · Apr 29, 2014

Someone Somewhere :

Both of them I had the supplier out today and they said its nothing to do with them it could be a problem with the PC but the PC is not Evan months old

Dark antz1 · Apr 29, 2014

are they both on wireless or is the PC directly connected to your router via Ethernet?

CullenSmith · Apr 29, 2014

Dark antz1 :

PC is connected via Ethernet and tablet is wireless

CullenSmith :

The problem is most likely with your PC then. You can try another Ethernet cable just to check to be sure.

This could be numerous reasons. DO you have an anti virus? Also could you post as much of your PC spec as possible.

Thanks

thats a very decent spec computer. There shouldnt be any bottle neck.
First try here http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4807#dl
D/L the LAN driver and install it. Restart your computer and perform another speed test.

If this doesnt work, because I dont rate Bullguard. Could you D/L a trial of Kaspersky Internet security. Update it and run a full system scan just to rule out any nastys. (You will most likely have to disable or uninstall bullguard before you can install Kaspersky.

trial link is underneath the picture (very hidden lol)

Ok thankyou ill try that and get back to you

Dark antz1 :

right i done what you said and i had a major jump to 12Mbps witch is grate thanks I no its different to my iPad but its better than it was thankyou for you help

Dark antz1 · Apr 29, 2014

No problem. I would recommend the scan and also changing the Ethernet cable. You should be getting the same speeds as your tablet if not better.

CullenSmith · Apr 29, 2014

Dark antz1 :

Ok what sort of Ethernet cable would you sugest?

Someone Somewhere · Apr 29, 2014

Yup, ethernet should be equal/faster than the tablet/phone (if the tablet+phone are going over the same internet connection. If it's 4G, no chance).

Dark antz1 · Apr 30, 2014

CullenSmith :

Any CAT5e standard Ethernet cable will do. You can find them cheap as chips on Amazon etc. Just pick the right length for you. Don't get drawn in to any gimmicks such as gold plated connectors etc.

E.g. this one should be fine.

Ok thank you for you help I managed to get the the speed to 33Mbps after a full system scan/clean up so hopefully the new Ethernet cable should push it up

Someone Somewhere · Apr 30, 2014

Ethernet usually won't do anything to it.

CullenSmith · Apr 30, 2014

Someone Somewhere :

What would you sugest?

Someone Somewhere · Apr 30, 2014

If cleaning up your system improved it that much, I'm thinking you need to give Windows a full reinstall.

Dark antz1 · Apr 30, 2014

It depends. Some old Ethernet cables can be of low quality and seriously impact speeds. The scan with kaspersky would of identified anything impeding the connection from PC side. The driver would of made sure the software is working properly. The tablet is getting speeds okay so there's nothing wrong with the router onwards. Therefore that only leaves the Ethernet cable to the router left. People PC's can get clogged up with useless programs but not as much as to seriously impact internet bandwidth that much on a computer that modern.

Someone Somewhere · Apr 30, 2014

Usually, Ethernet either works, or doesn't. If it doesn't, you'll get tons of packet loss or it'll downgrade to a slower speed. He's not locked to 10Mb/s, so I doubt it's the cable.

DSL has lots of stuff to optimise, but ethernet doesn't.

Using power line networking?
