Connection remains slow at 10mbps
You're wondering if the slow download speed is coming from your computer or your router.
Checking your internet setup: Are you connected via a wired or wireless link? What router model do you have? Did you download network drivers from the motherboard maker’s site or the networking chip you’re using?
I employ a wireless adapter, yes—I own a Linksys router and have the necessary network drivers installed.
Using a wireless link opens up many potential problems. We'll require more details about your configuration to pinpoint the cause. For instance, are there obstacles between the router and your device? Do other gadgets in the space, such as your phone, laptop, or tablet, experience the same problem when placed close to your computer? If yes, it's likely a placement issue—either too distant from the router, excessive walls or barriers, etc. What networking protocol does your router and WiFi card support (e.g., WiFi 6/ax, WiFi 5/ac, WiFi 4/n, etc.)?
