Question Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus WiFi - Speeds really slow.

[bobothewizard]

One last question on this motherboard, i swear

I am unsure how else to fix this but the download speeds are pretty bad on this new PC build. I have updated all the drivers, connection the two antennas in the back and flashed the bios all to the newest versions. As I am typing this i can see a game i am downloading in the background is only getting about 13 meg / sec download speed. Now compare this to my xbox which gets around 140 or so. The only difference is I am a little bit further away from the router, but only maybe 40 feet but I cannot see that making that much of a difference?

Question is for folks that have some experience with this mother board is there some tricks or tips that I should know about that would fix this?

Looks like the wifi card on the board is a Realtek 8852CE WiFi 6E PCI-E NIC

Maybe its the game im downloading. I ran a speed test and im showing 110 meg upload and 40 meg download so maybe it is working ok.

If Speedtest on your desktop while on the WiFi is that, then yes it's possible it's the server off of which you're sourcing the game(s) from. You could try and download something using Chrome and see if the speeds reflect the same as Speedtest.

depending on where this download is being hosted, it may just be limited.

look up the specs of the motherboard's onboard wi-fi and compare to what SpeedTest has shown.
if they match then there is no problem.

It could also be a location issue, for the antennas. Are these the small L-shaped ones attached directly to the antenna connectors? And, are they right next to a wall?

 

[bobothewizard]

Yes, that is correct, the little ones that screw directly in.

 

[COLGeek]

Move away from wall, if you can. That may improve performance.

Any other options available for the antenna in the back? Maybe something with a wire that I could plug in and run somewhere?

You could use network cable to connect to router if it's close enough and handy, it has much higher speed potential and not restricted by signal quality.

I think this might have just been the place i was downloading it from. I was downloading a game through the xbox app on the PC and getting around 15 mbps. Downloading a different game through steam and getting 160 mbps or so. I think im good, thanks all for the help and suggestions.
