Connection issues on one computer only

jtnoble321 · Oct 7, 2017

Hi guys!

I came home from college to play some games on my computer but noticed some really slow speeds. I ran a couple different speed tests on three different network cards (two N cards, one AC card) and all of them gave me inconsistent speeds ranging from 50Mbps down to 0.5 Mbps down; however, it seems as if my upload is unaffected.

I've tried multiple devices in my house (my phone, brother's phone, my laptop, brother's laptop, brother's pc) and all of them get close to 160Mbps (we pay for 200Mbps).

Anyone know of any possible fix here?
Thanks!

Phillip Corcoran :

With all do respect, yes, I have tried that multiple times

your router is a n or ac version also those nic card are gigabyte ac one .

AC Router that works on N connections as well (Dual band)
the NIC is asus N, the other two are usb (Asus AC and Netgear N)

then on ac you should have max speed but if it is on wireless you get a little less due to signal lost .

scout_03 :

Well yeah. But I have tried and all three cards seem to perform the same. My laptop does better even only on an AC connection than my computer is doing.

could it be that the laptop card is a better and more recent one then the tower pc i would check if there is any update for it .

scout_03 :

The laptop has an N NIC whereas I have tried 3 relatively newer NICs on the PC. I've also attempted to install new drivers, and use some older ones, and none of them work.
This never was a problem until maybe the past month, so I don't know if it's maybe a Mobo problem, PSU problem, or something else. I am pretty sure it wouldn't be a PSU thing so the only thing I can think of is maybe a Mobo issue.

there all pci card and did try all available slots so i will go your way for a board issue would check if bios detect those card when there plug in see if does slot are not disable in it .

jtnoble321 · Oct 27, 2017

scout_03 :

Only one of them are PCI cards and there is only one PCI slot on my motherboard. The other two are USB's. I also checked BIOS and it seems to detect it.

what is the name and model of router and as said by phil you could have to reset it .

scout_03 :

I've reset it and nothing has changed. I even tried a different router and same issue. I have mediacom for internet service (again, everyone else seems fine it's just my computer)

My router is a Netgear AC1750 Model R6400-100NAS
Bought it from Best Buy https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-ac1750-dual-band-wi-fi-router-black/9054017.p?skuId=9054017

Try downloading a lan speed test like this one:

http://www.totusoft.com/lanspeed1

You install it on 2 or more computers, designate 1 as the "server" and then send packets back and forth across the home network. It will then report the send/receive speeds to and from your computer.

If your lan speeds are OK, then it may be something about internet speeds on your specific computer that is causing the problem.
