Identical machine, unique experiences for each person. Significant differences in performance levels.
I'm feeling really frustrated. My laptop's internet speed is extremely slow, especially compared to my son's. We only have one login session at a time—just logging out from one account before the other. My connection drops between 20-50 Mbps down and 7-8 Mbps up. His speeds are much higher: 250-290 Mbps down and 10-12 Mbps up. I've attached screenshots of both task managers and the speed results. I've shared them on Windows 10 forums and Reddit, but I'm stuck. My machine runs Windows 10 Home with an I7 8750H, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, Intel Wireless-AC 9560 adapter, and a Realtek PCIe GbE controller. All drivers are current. The problem seems to appear only on wireless and Ethernet connections, not my computer itself. My modem is a Netgear CM 700 and the router is a Nighthawk X6S AC3000 (R7900P). It's only when I switch accounts that it happens. If I don't log out of my account, it also affects my son's. Please help me figure this out!
