I've encountered an issue and I've exhausted all my options, so I'm posting here. This has really got me confused and I'd love to know the answer.
I have a Windows 10 Inspiron 15 7559. The onboard network card broke a while back, so I purchased a TP-LINK TL-WN823N 300Mbps to connect to Wifi. I clock around 13mbps download speed. I plugged it into my wife's laptop, connect to same network- she gets a nice 70mbps d/l speed.
I tried testing speed at my office's wifi network. Same speed, 13mbps, but other coworkers are getting 70-80mpbs.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the TP Link drivers. Maybe there's an issue with my USB port power? The laptop has 3 USB ports, all 3.0 and one USB 3.0 w/ PowerShare. I've tried all ports, tested speed- all the same. The USB controller is Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller 1.0. There's also a USB Root Hub (3.0). (https://imgur.com/YvKX0Fi )
Any insight would be great. This is really boggling my mind. If I can't fix it, I'd still LOVE to know the reason!
