Windows 11 is limiting my internet speeds

When I go into my network connections tab under my control panel I can see that the speed of the connection varies but usually stays between 150Mb/s to 180Mb/s however when it comes to browsing or downloading things I'm only getting between 3-5Mb/s.

I have already gone through and uninstalled then reinstalled brand new drivers as well as this being a brand new PC.

Metered connections is off

I also know its not anything to do with my network as when testing the speed on other devices it usually stays between 150Mb/s to 180Mb/s as well.

I have tried everything that I can find however nothing has worked thus far and I am just very confused why my computer just doesn't seem to want to use its available internet.

For specs I'm running a gigabyte B450M D3SH WIFI motherboard, Ryzen 5 2600, RTX 2070 super, 16 gigs of ram, 500 GB SSD, 2TB HDD. Running the most current version of windows 11

This was my dream gaming pc and so to have this slow of wifi makes it somewhat useless

    Thank You fsbx

    I am now back where I was before I started this "fix".

    I now have fast download restored.

    I now have slow upload restored to where it was. Slow, but not super super slow.

    Any idea how I can speed up my slow upload?

    Thanks

    John

    Did this:

    These sets of commands will reset the internet connection and re-calibrate the internet settings you have.

    Press Windows Key + X.
    Click on Command prompt (Admin).
    Type the following commands, and hit Enter after each command:

    netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
    netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ip reset
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns

    Am now even worse off. Download was fast, now is slow, ie very very slow..

    Upload was slow. Now even slower.

    How on earth will I fix this???

    This is for Lester BernardReyes, hoping you'll get this message - I HAD a problem with my internet upload speeds, my Spectrum downloads run about 550 and normal upload is around 21. However on one computer, I only had upload speeds of 2 to 4. I found you answered that question back in 2021 with almost the exact same set of instructions as given here. The first time I did just the WWAN step, turned it off and turned it on, and it fixed the upload. 2 days later it was down to under 1 - download was still 550+. So I tried again, no change. So I followed the second set of instructions (netsh and ipconfig). NOW, INSTEAD OF 550+ DOWNLOAD, I HAVE ONLY 70 DOWNLOAD. Upload continues in the 4 to 6 range. WHAT HAPPENED?? How do I get my original settings back to download at 550+ ????

    Hey Robert, I had the same problem as you. After following the second set of steps, my download speeds shot down. To fix it, you can follow the steps here to see the explanations https://pureinfotech.com/disable-window-auto-tuning-fix-slow-internet-speeds-windows-10/ , or just type this into admin cmd, "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal". Hope this helps.
