[SOLVED] Sudden Slow Internet Speed after Mobo Upgrade

[zvinca.andrei]

Hi guys, hope you can help.

I've upgraded my build from a poor intel i5 to a msi x470 gaming pro and ryzen 2600x. I did this about two months ago but I haven't really noticed any speed issues until recently when I started downloading some stuff again. So far in online gaming and streaming, it wasn't noticeable.

My speed went from 70-100mbps to 4-5mpbs in speedtests, you name the speedtest I've tried it. Local, international, whatever.

My question is, is it possible that by not reinstalling my windows after swapping the mobo and cpu, this could cause some issues between past mobo drivers and current mobo drivers? Some sort of incompatibility that might cut my speed like this? Could this issue have been going on for two months and I just noticed it or is it the cable?

The provider says that it's not on their end as they can see me able to pull down at 100mbps and I also have the latest lan driver for my mobo installed. I would also like to mention that reinstalling win is not currently an option for me as there's too much data i have to save and i need to run my pc 24/7 for at least two more weeks. So this is something I simply can't test. Any thoughts on why this could be happening? Could it be a hardware-related thing with the cables or router?

You should certainly try another known working, at speed cable.

If all other devices are working at the expected speeds then the router is probably best left alone.

If you did not download, reinstall, and reconfigure the applicable network adapters for the new motherboard then the default settings and values are being used.

Those default settings and values are very likely not conducive for optimum network performance.

And may even be causing some bottleneck.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS.

Also include make and model router.

Lastly run and post the results of "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt on your build.
