Slow USB tethering

[mirharish]

Im currently using USB tethering to my pc but the speed is super slow which is so frustrating.

the speed on my mobile is fine, keep getting 30+ mbps (Note 5 4G LTE) but the speed on my pc via usb tethering is 0.2 - 1 mbps

When i run speedtest on both device simultaneously (PC still via USB tethering) the speed on my pc would crank up to 20+ mbps

i dont know whether the mobile device is limiting the speed or what

Things i tried to fix but failed:-

- using wifi hotspot
- reboot pc and mobile device
- trying usb tethering on another pc
- Reset my phone back to factory
- using third party apps (PDANET, clockworkmod)

Please help me guys

I experienced a similar issue too once where the connection works initially but suddenly drops to a crawl. I fixed it by enabling dhcp in mobile internet sharing settings. Also, set your network adapter (in pc) to auto obtain ip. I hope it helps

I had the same problem. I solved it increasing the pdanet windows priority process (PdaNetPC.exe) to the highest possible. Set it to high or realtime.
