Hi everyone,
I was gifted an older HP Omen computer recently. After setting it up in my room; I've noticed that my network speeds were a lot slower than my other devices in the house despite having a full set of networking bars. To double check, I moved my laptop (its an ASUS Zenbook) next to desktop and ran a speedtest from both computers at once and got a massive difference in the result (ASUS 40-50 mbps) (Omen around 5mbps).
Here is a list of troubleshooting so far:
Updated WLAN drivers
Ran 2 different antivirus software and got 0 results
Cleared out temp files
Checked the task manager and it's currently sitting at around 0% in the network column.
Read somewhere that it might be the Omen command center program is too blame but it is not installed on this computer. I don't know if was uninstalled or it just never had it (this is an older omen model)
Disabled the Microsoft firewall
Move the desktop next to cable modem and plug a ethernet cable to it. Speeds were a little better this isn't an option long term.
I'm running out of ideas. Most of the stuff I've tried above was though google seaches and going though these fourms. Looking for some fresh ideas to try out.
Is there anything else that might be causing the poor internet connection that I can do?
