Wifi Card Slow Speed

[_goooge_]

Hello all I have a TP-Link TL-WN881ND wireless adapter and Its been giving me slow speeds. I have excellent conection but i go do a speedtest and I only get 4mb down and 5mb up. I have charter spectrum, I tested on my phone and a couple other devices and they got upwards of 60 down and 6 up, if anyone can help that would be really appreciated

Confirming your post
Your phone, through same wifi, gets 60 mbs down FROM THE SAME speedtest site where your PC gets 4mb down.

Verify that you are connecting with wireless n and get your connection speed. Type CMD in search box, RIGHT click and run as admin. Then type the following in the cmd box: netsh wlan show interfaces

You should see something like this (win10)

Network type : Infrastructure
Radio type : 802.11n
Authentication : WPA2-Personal
Cipher : CCMP
Connection mode : Profile
Channel : 11
Receive rate (Mbps) : 86.5
Transmit rate (Mbps) : 86.5
Signal : 69%

If your output looks similar that's good. If you are not wireless n or have a very very low rate then let us know.

Its possible that the placement of you PC is the problem. The wireless signal goes (roughly) in a straight line between the back of your PC where the antenae come out and the router the send the wireless signal. AS A TEST ONLY, move your PC so that is about 4 ft from the router (not closer) where nothing is between the router and the antennae on your TP-Link TL-WN881ND. Do speeds improve ?

If the phone was not getting a better connection we'd also look at interference , etc.
