Question Networking problem with QOS possibly. my computer does not get the internet it should get.

[Jett_______2131223]

Recently, my computer has decided to use less network. previously, it used about 70mps and suddenly wont use more than 15mps. I run a server on the machine so I need good internet. my internet plan is 80mps and we own a century link router. my computer uses WIFI, but its in the same spot as it was when it worked well and when I use my laptop in the same place, it uses 70 mps. how can I get my computer to use more network when it needs it?

 

[Jett_______2131223]

well I could spend the time, but there is no room for my computer in the room where the router is

 

[Jett_______2131223]

Is there anything else that could be of use?

 

[Jett_______2131223]

I cant leave my computer there for long, its not a safe place for it. I would rather use a different solution.

What is your wifi adapter and your router?

 

[Jett_______2131223]

Im sure its a driver issue. the random disconnects started after I updated my wifi adapters drivers.

my router is a century link Actiontec c3000a with the 80mps plan. My wifi adapter is the realtek 8812bu wireless lan 802.11ac usb nic. I updated its drivers and it started to disconnect. Im sure that I messed up its drivers, but I have uninstalled them and reinstalled the drivers still with the same problem. here is where I bought it from: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...&pf_rd_p=5ae2c7f8-e0c6-4f35-9071-dc3240e894a8

Your wifi adapter brand, Nineplus,(full name Shenzhenshi jiujiadianzishangwuyouxiangongsi) sells wifi for as low as $11 USD. Generally, when you see something like that, quality isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

My first suggestion would be to get a better wifi adapter, suck as a Tplink or an Asus, and see if your situation improves.

this is the error I get when I disconnect. Realtek 8812BU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC : The version number is incorrect for this driver. it does not say this error every time I disconnect.
