I'm having a problem with my wireless connection to my internet. About 1 year ago all was fine. I was getting about 13-15 mbps in my download speed. Now 1 year later, my download speed has dropped down to about 2-3 mbps. On my phone and on my different devices i am still getting about 14 mbps but on my computer it's really slow. I have tried switching out my wireless reciver, because i maybe thaught it was broken, but that didn't fix it. I have also tried reinstalling windows, and tried resetting my router and my download speed was still on 3 mbps as the only connected device on the internet. My internet provider said that it should be fine and they couldn't see anything that looked slow on my connection.

I'm pretty much out of hope now:(

Hope any of you clever people out there who can help me:)
 
well since you tried re installing windows and tried different wireless adapter on the computer next logical thing to check would be the router so try connecting your computer with Ethernet cable straight to the modem and see what speed you get.

I could try that, but the thing that confuses me is, that all the other devices in my home runs 13-15mbps on wireless without any problems at all.. I think the ethernet cable thing would work, but i don't have a long enough cable to connect to the router though:(
