Hi all, so I'm really beating my head against the wall here.
So, I have three PCs, a gaming desktop (Alienware Aurora R15), Win 11, a mobile workstation, Win 11, and a smaller notebook laptop with Linux Mint.
All of my PC's download at about 300Mbps (give or take), over WIFI...but my gaming PC, with the Killer network adapter, only gets 72Mbps, continuous. I followed every internet download speed tweak guide I could find, including setting the "limit reservable bandwidth" to 0, which it already was, as well as optimally finding my MTU, by using the "ping /f /l 1500" command to google.com, and reducing my packet size, every time it returns with a "Fragmented error," then taking the value that doesn't produce this error, and adding 28 and setting that for my Ethernet connection on the router side. This changed absolutely nothing, but it did further make my WIFI connected devices nearly 2x faster, when applying that method to those connected devices/ ports.
I have also:
Updated all of my drivers (Alienware Update actually does this automatically already)
Ran an SFC/ scannow
Ran a DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth...
Used TCP Optimizer and followed a separate tweak guide for that
The funny thing? Is it's always a hard 72Mbps that I cannot exceed.
