Question Why does my WiFi slow down when i am charging/plugged in

[Clickie]

Hello,

I have an HP Pavilion x360 14-ba090na. I noticed for a while the WiFi has been slow, I just put it down to a bad location in the house where the laptop is usually located. It wasn't until I unplugged the laptop to move it, that the internet speed increased quite a bit.

I have run a few speed tests. This was done by running the test, unplugging the laptop, waiting about 5-10 seconds and running the test again, not moving the laptop a millimetre. the unplugged come out with 38Mbps download and 13Mbps upload. The plugged-in come out with 6Mbps download and 12Mbps upload

I have followed a couple of guides which involved: running windows troubleshoot, forgetting and reconnecting to the WiFi network, changing power management settings, uninstalled/reinstalled drivers and reset TCP/IP stack. but nothing has helped.

I had also read on another forum, about it might have something to do with the charger not being powerful enough, which kind of made sense at the time because I upgraded my ram and added another ssd HD, so today I bought a lager 95w charger and again this hasn't helped.

I don't really know what else to do, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

changing power management settings

This was my first thought. What exactly did you change in the Power Options? Have you reinstalled or updated the driver for the WiFi card?

It's definitely not a lack of power. Those cards use very little, and typically a power supply that is not able to deliver will yield very different behavior.
