Hey, everyone, so I recently upgraded to Gigabit fiber. It's been awesome, despite the fact that the distance from the router has only allwoed mt to utilize about 400Megabits of it so far(threading through an ethernet cable is going to be...a project, so we have yet to do it), but just today I began having a weird problem: The wifi is suddenly being throttled to 50Megabits on my PC. It's ONLY the wireless - when I plug the old ethernet cable fro mthe OLD internet(service for which does not end until December 5th since we'd already paid through that period), I get the full 100Megabit speed it had, but if I plug into the wifi for the old internet, it's also throttled to 50(the wifi for it was able to get 80-90).
Now, of course, first thought is dying network card. Fortunately I have a USB wifi dongle with 100megabit capacity(I know this from using it with the old internet before I got the wifi card) to test with, so I disabled the network card, plugged in the dongle, and... same results.
ALL other devices that connect to the new internet wifi are getting proper speeds - 200-700 megabits depending on proximity to the router. It is ONLY my PC that is suffering this, and it is apparently not the network card.
So where do I look to fix this?
Oh, and since I'm sure someone will ask, I might as well mention this info: I use a VPN, but the issue is happening even with the VPN shut off - the only difference is a much faster ping with the VPN off. VPN being on/off made a difference of about 70Megabits in speed before this.
EDIT: I have also already tried disabling tcp autotuning and it had no effect.
