I removed 1809 and voila, it works perfectly now. not sure what 1809 changed that reduced my 5 Ghz wifi to less than 1 mbps, and my 2.5 Ghz to less than 3 mbps. but it definitely messed my wifi adapter up. and these speeds were from 2 feet away from the router.
Slow Internet Speed on Windows 10 1809
Dear Community,
I am getting a very slow speed internet after updating to 1809.
I raised the issue Microsoft but have heard from them, it's been more than 45 days.
I am on 100 Mbps plan, I am getting the speed on my mobile phone but on my laptop, I am getting max download speed of 5 Mbps and upload around 30 Mbps.
I have tried updating the driver but it says I am on latest version.
Please, help.
Best,
H

2019-09-03T19:05:20+00:00 Microsoft has obviously done something to reduce internet speed. ALL of my apple devices are getting at least twice the speed of my windows computers on RJ45, whether they are on RJ45 or WiFi. When you can get twice the speed on WiFi as on RJ45 windows, that's saying something, and it's not good.
I am in process of migrating away from the Windows OS completely!
