Hi, I'm having an issue with my internet speeds at my desktop PC.
I have done multiple speed tests with multiple sites, and they all never go past ~15.5 mbps download speed.
I have Xfinity internet, and should be getting 50 mbps.
This is my connection:
Standard Xfinity modem/router combo (downstairs)
Ethernet cable to ethernet-to-mains adapter in the wall
(Through the wall mains)
To another (multi port) ethernet-to-mains adapter (These basically use the wall wiring as an ethernet cable)
To my PC, laptop, and Xbox.
Now, my first thought was the wall mains being the problem.
Well, I did a speed test on my laptop, using the ethernet, and it got roughly ~55mbps, which is what I should get.
So that rules that out.
I've also tried using a Wifi usb dongle to connect wirelessly, and after testing I still got ~15mbps (on my laptop I got ~30 mbps, normal for wireless)
The internet was working perfectly fine previously, but after I unplugged the whole setup (to have electric work done), and plugged it back in, it did this.
This is my PC. Nothing I see should be bottlenecking it, as my mobo supports 10/100/1000 mbps speeds.
So, it has to be some setting in Windows, or something of the sort.
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I really need this fixed as my college work is done online, and I'm having to do it on my laptop right now.
Thanks for your help!
