Hello. I have a Dell XPS 8700 running Windows 10.
I have fiber optic Internet service from Hotwire Fision. I use a Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 R6700v2 router. The connection to my computer is an ethernet cable.
Hotwire is saying that they have upgraded our download speed to 400 Mbps and 50 Mbps.
I have tested the speed several imes a day for the past few test using Hotwire Fision's online speed test.
I have consistently gotten a download speed of around 90 Mbps and an upload speed of around 50 Mbps.
Their rep said that my computer or router could be limiting the download speed, keeping me from getting the 400 Mbps. I highly doubt the router is the culprit given its specs.
I'm trying to figure out if my computer is the source of the problem.
I went to Device Manger and double-clicked "Network adapters." I see:
Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) #2
Dell Wireless 1703.802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz)
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IPv6)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)
WAN Miniport SSTP)
That's all I see there.
Given all that info, does someone know how I could check to see if my computer is reducing the download speed?
Thanks!
