I've tried reading other similar questions but none of the suggestions help.
I have a new desktop PC. I bought around 5 months ago.
Windows 10, AMD Ryzen 9 3900, 16GB 3200MHz RAM, Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
This is located in my bedroom, approx 15 meters away from the router (in another room). The internet has always been slow and constantly dropping. I assumed it was the wifi card as it was a fairly cheap pre-built pc.
I recently replaced the wifi card with: Ubit AX/AC WiFi 6 Card Dual Band 2974 Mbps AX200
This was giving me speeds of around 16mb/s & was often dropping to around 0.8 - 2mbps. I was constantly spending a good 15 minutes resetting the network adapter/restarting pc before I could use it.
The problem I have is that my laptop/phone etc all have great connections in this room.
I've just run a speed test on google.
Desktop: 0.8mbps download speed.
Laptop: 67mbps
In the exact same spot in the room.
Things I have tried.
- Replacing the wireless card.
- Repositioning the pc
- Restarting the router.
- Removing the device driver and re-installing them. (I have the latest ones).
- Preventing Windows from turning off the device to save power (in device manager)
If anyone has any ideas what could be causing the problem, I will be forever greatful.
Is the wireless card that I bought any good? (Link above). It had good reviews.
