I recently purchased this pre build which arrived today. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-gaming-fsg-essential-1080p-pre-built-gaming-pc-fs-1d3-ep.html
The only issue (aside from the fact they failed to include a kettle plug) is that my wi fi speeds have been so low as to render the pc unusable. I’m getting speeds in the single digits, sometimes as low as 1 or 2 mbps. Other devices in my home are getting the full 30-40 that I usually get, so I’m pretty sure the fault lies with the pc. I occasionally get a spike of about 20 or so although this doesn’t last more than a few minutes.
I have tried everything I can think of so far, including downloading updated drivers for the network card, uninstalling the adapter in device manager, downloading all windows updates etc but nothing has worked. One thing I’ve noticed is that there is no antenna attached to the pc. Aren’t the network cards supposed to have external antennas, is it possible they forgot to include these as well, or should or go out and buy some myself?
The router is only a couple of rooms away but I haven’t got an Ethernet cable long enough so I haven’t tried that yet, but has anyone got any other suggestions as to why I’d be getting such poor wi fi speeds?
