Extremely slow data transfer rate.
Extremely slow data transfer rate.
Hello dear reader, I've noticed my upload speeds are unusually slow (just a few Mbps), while downloads stay stable. A speed test on another device nearby showed much better performance—around 6 to 10 Mbps upload—and even with a powerline adapter or Ethernet connection, downloads remained poor. After updating Windows, the issue persists. Could you assist me? Thank you in advance, Ivel.
It seems the issue likely lies within the primary enclosure rather than the network link. Several devices or programs might be responsible. Have you experienced consistent performance before the problem started? When did it begin and did anything alter the setup?
Sorry for the delayed response; it's been quite a hectic week for me. Indeed, I think the problem likely lies with the computer itself, which raises my concerns. What bothers me is that my download speeds and ping remain stable compared to other devices on the network, while upload speeds are the only one affected. The system was running smoothly until I traveled by plane after moving countries, which coincided with slower speeds. Although I haven’t conducted any tests to confirm if the flight damaged a board component, I noticed the issue right away. Since the internet stayed mostly functional, I suspect the operating system rather than the hardware is the culprit. Despite searching online for tips on boosting upload speeds, the advice always points to simple fixes like switching to Ethernet or being closer to the modem—both options I’ve already tried without success. I also verified the Ethernet cable wasn’t faulty. This strange situation would have been easier if someone else had shared similar experiences.
I just removed the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 drivers from my system, but nothing has changed. I’m not sure what else to try since I’ve already done everything possible.
Was das Gerät mit dem Intel AX200-WLAN-Kartenadapter geliefert oder wurde es von einem älteren Modell ersetzt? Setzen Sie den Adapter neu ein und stellen Sie sicher, dass die beiden Antennenklemmen fest sitzen auf der Karte. Auf einem Desktop-System sollten Sie den Signalfluss nicht durch Hindernisse blockieren – heben Sie das gesamte System auf und entfernen Sie umgebende Gegenstände. Viele Drittanbieter ersetzen den AX200 unter einem anderen Namen, doch im Grunde handelt es sich um einen Intel-Chipset, der mit Intel-Treibern funktioniert. Laden Sie die neuesten AX200-Treiber herunter und installieren Sie sie nach dem Entfernen der vorherigen Version. Legen wir eine Basis fest. Welche Kosten zahlen Sie für Ihre Internetverbindung? Welches Gerät oder welche Marke liefert den WLAN-Zugang? Ist dieses Gerät mit einem anderen zentralen Gerät im Netz verbunden? Welche Einstellungen sind auf diesem Gerät konfiguriert? Zum Beispiel die verwendeten Frequenzkanäle, Bandbreite, Verschlüsselung? Haben Sie eine WLAN-Überprüfung durchgeführt, um mögliche Störungen in Ihrer Umgebung zu erkennen? Nutzen Sie Tools wie WiFi Analyzer oder WiFiman, um die 2,4GHz- und 5GHz-Bänder zu analysieren. Eine Verbindung über Ethernet mit Powerline ist nicht dasselbe wie reiner Ethernet – es sollte nur dann verwendet werden, wenn es unbedingt erforderlich ist. Obwohl die Technologie sich weiterentwickelt hat, bleibt sie empfindlich gegenüber verschiedenen elektrischen Einflüssen.
I'm charged for downloads up to 100mbps. On my network, devices connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet average around 70 Mbps, except during peak hours from 8 to 10 PM when speeds drop significantly to 10–20 Mbps. Upload is limited to 10 Mbps, but all other devices receive between 6 and 9 Mbps on average, with my main PC performing only about 1 Mbps—fluctuating between 0.8 and 1.1.
The modem I'm using is a Telstra smart Gen 2 device provided by my ISP. It connects to a central hub on the network; wirelessly it links only to the modem, unless my storage PC is active for transferring files or documents. My WiFi supports Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and operates in the 5 GHz band at channel 56, matching the settings of another device I use for benchmarking. Security-wise, the Windows firewall is currently enabled, but disabling it didn't affect my upload performance.
I haven’t noticed any issues with the wireless connection itself—using a fully functional Ethernet cable produced identical results. Testing at my friend’s place showed similar speeds, including during uploads, which were fine compared to my phone’s performance on home internet. Based on this, the main cause of my slow upload speeds likely lies with the modem I have. It might simply not be providing enough bandwidth for my PC relative to other devices. Perhaps upgrading to a better modem or building my own setup could resolve the problem.
