Soldato
Never been so confused about a computer issue in my life.
Recently had Fibre installed, paying for 120mb / 24mb.
The fibre modem was supplied and I have connected both the additionally supplied router and my own Asus AC68U-DSL router, with the same outcome in this instance.
The router (i'm currently using the Asus one) is connected via WAN over ethernet and via a wired connection to the router with a Surface Pro 4, I can get at most 90mb d/l over speedtest.net with a consistent 23/4mb upload. The download varies often, on average however it is around 60-80mb, with the upload ALWAYS being the expected 24mb ish.
Over wi-fi from the surface pro again, standing next to the router, I get around a similar d/l and upload (perhaps 10mb or so less, but I put this down to wireless overhead than anything else).
So my provider obviously have some work to do to increase the speed coming into the property to give me my 120mb promised.
However, what is totally baffling me, is that my PC that is upstairs, over TP-Link AC2000 homeplugs can only get 50mb d/l, when the homeplugs themselves report 700-800mb connection in the TP-Link app. Additionally using an AC wifi usb adaptor, this PC can get 30mb d/l, 24/mb upload, whereas an Xbox One S right next to it can get 60mb d/l over wi-fi. reporting a 75% reception.
I just now connected the Surface Pro to the homeplug the pc was connected to and that gets approx 70-80mb via speedtest, so how can this be getting more throughput over the same connection??
Why is my pc connecting to the internet so slowly? It has gigabit network ports and windows reports a gigabit connection (backed up by the TP-Link app stating a connection between the homeplugs of circa 800mb, and the Realtek network drivers are the latest available, yet the speed of it's connection to the internet doesn't reflect this.
Any ideas please how I can resolve this?
