Is Slow Internet on my main computer okay? But if I use a wired laptop or any wireless gadgets, they go way faster?

I tried putting Linux on USB so far it looks all messed up lol but my speed was the same 350 down and 40 up. I'm losing hope now, is there something in the BIOS that limits this? I have a performance boost or whatever else it's called turned on by default could that be the problem?
That is really strange. There isn't a hardware error that slows things down like that. Is 40 Mbps the upload limit for your other devices too? If it was physical errors slowing the speed, they would affect everything but data moving in different directions is weird. Ethernet uses all four wires to send and receive data, so an issue should happen to both sides at the same time. I think another test is better if you move files around in your house. It's even better if we use a tool like IPERF. IPERF is an old command line thing that isn't affected by things like disk structure, CPU, or memory. Since it doesn't run from the browser either, it gets rid of those factors. You should see 900+ megabytes per second in both directions with iperf. When you copy files, you can watch the rate on the network tab in your resource manager app. I would use big files so you could watch and see if the rates change... note that many rates on that screen are measured in MBYTES/sec
It comes down to Windows, so does your computer have the newest driver? You can get that from Intel's site here: [link](https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...el...-pack.html)
