Okay so we bought a fiber package into our home with a fiber-line going outside and into the house, pretty basic. We also got a modem/router in one from them too, and the fiber cable connected to that. And its a 500 mb/s line. First i asked my father to plug in the Ethernet cable and go to speedtest.net to checkout the speed, and i was amazed. It was going back and forth between 450-500 mb/s, Which is just freaking amazing, because you should consider the 10% traffic loss. Anyhow, after looking at that i went up to try it on my laptop, and what a suprise, it only shows 27 mb/s on speednet.net
I've tried both WIFI and Cable, but with no change. I even tried updating, perhaps that was the issue, nope. I've checked other forums and posts, nothing. I just dont understand. Is my network card maybe wrong? or perhaps its locked at 30? i dont know what the issue is.
I must add that i went downstairs and also checked WIFI on the 5G wifi we have up. We have 2 wifi names within the same box, he said one is 2,4G or something and the other being 5G. So i tested both. 2,4G gives me the same value as cable, Whereas 5G suprsingly gave me 120 mb/s one time and then it just dropped to 50 mb/s ish, and it just doesnt go up anymore. I seriously need some help here because i have no freaking idea why. My fathers laptop is able to pull 500 mb/s with cable and im only doing 27 mb/s with the same cable, and to add, our laptop's are fairly new.
As he always says when something is wrong, '' you have virus ''. Perhaps that's the issue ? I just dont know anymore, and i hope some of you might.
thanks.
EDIT: I went into Device manager and opened Networkcard then proceeded to update every single thing manually, and the only thing that actually did update was my Ethernet thing/name/whatever. I then went downstairs and thought why not test the cable again, and this time i got 100mb/s the first time and all the other times 70mb/s. So updating the driver sure was an improvment but i'm still missing 400mb/s? (350mb/s with traffic loss)
I asked my father do check wireless and he also got around 50 mb/s so wireless problems are from the IPS sides, not ours apperntly, and getting full 500 mb/s through wireless when the line is at 500 mb/s is too much to ask for, i know. But the problem is still here with Ethernet.
