Alright, so I got a fiber network that provide 150/150 Mbps.

My network is very slow and gives me only 500kbps every time I download something. This is a picture of me trying to download WoW: Legion: https://gyazo.com/a2a934aaee903b2b10a243a62dd2d00f

As you can see I'm only getting 500kbps. I'm sharing the internet with 3 other people.

I've checked my router and my wireless adapter for my computer and it seems to handle 150mbps according to the product details.

This is the wireless adapter connected to my computer: TP-LINK TL-WN822N 11n Wireless Adapter
And this is my router: Jensen AirLink 3000DG

I am getting very tired of waiting an hour to only download one gigabyte.
Also the network may just disconnect from my computer when I upload or stream.

Thanks for the help in advance.

I would say it is probably your wireless adapter. N300 is not very fast, by today's standards. That and the fact others are getting better results, wirelessly, than you are. Not a fan of USB wifi adapters either. PCI-E ones are more reliable.

Yes, we are all connected wirelessly to the router.
And moving the antenna doesn't do very much as a difference.

Yeah, it raised up to 15-25 mbps but that is still not fast enough and bad considering that we've bought a package of 150 up and down.

Yeah, I know that but 15-25 is still really low. Also no one is using wired.

I did this test wireless with all the others connected as well.
I got this result: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5598008958

However when someone else in the house tested it (and we tested in the same room) he got 40/50.
May this be a computer problem consisting of me not recieving the speed I should recieve? If that is the case, what can I do?
