Hi everyone,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T440P and about two weeks ago I installed Windows 10 and formatted my entire drive. I used to have Win8.1 and had no problems with my internet connection. Ever since I installed Win10, I have been noticing speed drops when surfing online. For example, while viewing a Youtube video, it suddenly stops buffering. I check my connection speed, and see that its around 100 Kbps. The problem only happens on my laptop, since other devices that are connected to the same network have a normal speed of around 40 Mbps. To solve this temporarily, I disable and re-enable my network adapter through "network connections" in the networks and sharing center. That gives me about 1-2 hours of normal internet speed until the next inevitable drop.
I assume the problem is with my laptop, since other devices don't have this problem. Though I mainly connect to my dorm room's network, I do not recall having this problem with another wireless network(I have not connected to other networks for long enough to notice a drop of speed of this sort).
Things I tried to do:
-Uninstall and reinstall the network adapter driver.
-Update my OS.
-Restarting my laptop and router.
-Check for the latest version of the network adapter driver.
-Change the SSID and password of the network, just to be sure
I am running Bitdefender free antivirus, which detects no problems after a scan.
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me resolve this issue.
