    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    Lol sorry I didn't check then. Part of the problem was I didn't know the admin password and waited to reset the router.

    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    Update: I changed the wireless router settings to wireless n only and changed to channel 11 and now the internet seems to be going consistently faster. I also switched back to the rosewill wireless n adapter and I'm getting consistently faster speeds from 20 to 40+ mbps. The issue may be...

    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    I figure I shouldn't need to get an ac router because both my note 8 and win 10 laptop get over 30 mbps down and 10-11 mbps up while my desktop is currently getting 18-20 mbps down and 10 mbps up. I think it could be the antennas on the outside of the card not picking up a strong signal. Unless...

    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    I installed a tp-link archer t9e and I'm getting 18-25 mbps down and 10 mbps up. Meanwhile my note 8 gets over 40 mbps down and 11 mbps up in the same area where the antennas stick out of the wife adapter on the desktop. The good thing is that the tp-link card works at a higher speed than the...

    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    Right now I checked and that top one "DIRECT-HMDESKTOP-GLROTPMmsR8" moved to channels 9-13. Also, I just did a speed test on my note 8 and it got 48 mbps down and 11 mbps up. Meanwhile, my desktop got 1.5 mbps down and 11 mbps up. Over 2 hours ago, my desktop got 40 mbps down and 10-11 mbps...

    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    The Wi-Fi analyzer app on my note says channel 14 has the most stars which I assume mean it's the best channel to use. My current network is on channel 6 and there are no stars for it. Does this mean I need to switch something to channel 14? If so, how do I do that? If I have to get into admin...

    Wi-Fi going fast some days, slow other days.

    Sorry I didn't get to that. I tried it now on my note 8 and I was 50-60 db around my desktop and near my Wi-Fi extender antenna. I did buy that same Wi-Fi card you talked about though I haven't opened it yet. (spam removed) We consider TapaTalk "sigs" to be spam, here on these forums. Please...

    Hi, I'm building on a previous thread I made that I don't know if I should bump (https://forums.anandtech.com/index.php?threads/2525198/). So I made a new thread that's related. My desktop Wi-Fi has had issues in the recent month or so. The connection will go really slow under 2 mbps down. I...

    Win 10 PC wifi slow, cell phone fast

    I think I may have fixed the issue. I reset the network adapter and now the internet seems faster. Maybe it was a corrupted driver that got reinstalled during the above process. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Win 10 PC wifi slow, cell phone fast

    I haven't checked for any interference or congestion, but my laptop which is currently sitting on top of my desktop gets fast speeds with Wi-Fi. So I don't think it's an interference or congestion issue. I think it may be a Windows update issue. Does anyone know how I can go back to the...

    Win 10 PC wifi slow, cell phone fast

    There is a wall, desk, and other items in between the pc and router. But these obstacles weren't an issue over a month ago as I got good speeds. It seems to have occurred after I did two creators updates. My note 8 gets great speeds when I'm near my pc. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Win 10 PC wifi slow, cell phone fast

    I bought an edimax ac1200 usb Wi-Fi adapter and it still is giving me low speeds. I got 2.21 mbps down and 1.68 mbps up. I tried my note 8 and it went over 40 mbps down and around 11 mbps up. I wonder if this is a win 10 cu and fcu update issue. Anyone else have any advice on what I can do to...

    I don't think it's the router. I think it's either the win 10 cu and fcu or the internal rosewill adapter. My win 10 laptop gets fast speeds, but it's not upgraded to cu or fcu. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    I tried rolling back to the regular creators update and it still gives me the same slow wifi speeds. I also tried deleting the driver and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I have a Rosewill wireless 150n wifi card installed. It doesn't say it supports win 10, but it worked with win 10...

    Hi, recently I've had issues with my win 10 PC's wifi go slow while my cell phone (note 8) goes fast. After some speedtests, the PC went 1.89 mbps down and 1.69 mbps up. The cell phone went 65.69 mbps down and 11.58 mbps up. Also, my ps4 went faster too at 17.50 mbps down and 0.45 mbps up (I...

    Best card around $200 for 1080 60 fps ultra gaming?

    One issue with heat I'm concerned about is the heat causing my room to get hot. It's summer time and the temps are in the high 70s and 80s where I live so I'm concerned the high temps could cause my room to get hotter. Has anyone has this happen to them?

    Best card around $200 for 1080 60 fps ultra gaming?

    If it was between the 960 4gb and 380 4gb, which one is better? I saw game benchmarks and the 380 got slightly more fps on most games. The 380 was getting higher temps and using more power though. Would having higher temps such as in the 70s C damage the videocard? What about high power...

    Advice on $1000 build

    Actually it may be closer to $326 after tax, so perhaps 70-80 more expensive tham the 6600k. This YouTube video claims the i7 gives smoother gameplay or something. https://youtu.be/EhaB1dqYv_I Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give it some more thought.

    Advice on $1000 build

    I feel like I'd be getting something less if I don't get a 6600k or 6700k. The 6500 has a lower clock speed than the 6600k. I'm wanting to know if anyone can confirm whether the 6600k or 6500 of these processors will play newer games at 1080p 60 fps at high or even ultra settings?
