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

except I don't have group policy editor.
I have days of frustration from an OS I overpaid for that underperforms. Years worth of questions and solutions for this issue, as usual micro care does nothing.
Decades of garbage software from these people.
So frustrating. Time to switch to Linux
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.
"just type this into admin cmd, "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal". took me from 150 to 279 on wifi where I have a 1gb speed @ router.
I have the same problem and none of these worked for me. I really don't know what's going on
If you have a Dell computer, and Dell Optimizer is running, if can limit the network bandwidth trying to prioritise some apps.
You can run it by clicking on the Windows icon and starting to type Dell Optimizer, it should show up. Then disable network optimization.
Oh this is AWESOME. Made the Services settings adjustments and my download speed went from a very restrained cap of 150Mbps to my full internet download speed from my provider. Love it! Thank you!
