Experiencing poor Wi-Fi performance on your latest computer is frustrating. Let’s troubleshoot together.
Hello, I recently assembled a PC and opted for a motherboard without Wi-Fi, thinking Ethernet would suffice (and considering cost). My router is in the basement and provides roughly 350-400 Mbps both wirelessly and via wired connection. When I attempted Ethernet using a Devolo powerline adapter, speeds dropped to about 30Mbps upstairs. I assumed interference from other devices was the issue, but I’m not technically skilled. I then tried my Wi-Fi on my phone and MacBook, which consistently showed 80-150 Mbps. I decided to purchase a USB Wi-Fi adapter and ended up getting a TP-Link Archer T3U. After installing drivers and connecting it via USB, I still managed only around 30Mbps occasionally. Could you help identify the possible cause? Some extra info: I’m using Windows 10, it’s updated, and I’ve already set the adapter to 5GHz.
